Saint Brendan’s Parish Scholarships, 2015 - 2016 Academic Year Several years ago St. Brendan's Parish Council established an educational scholarship fund, the main purpose of which is to promote parochial education from elementary schooling to college level studies as an option for our parishioners. The money for this scholarship is provided by St. Brendan's tithing program. The success of our parish tithing program, and the generosity of some parish families, will again allow us to offer grants of $750. in the next school year, just as we have in the past. At least four scholarship awards of $750 each, and perhaps as many as six, will be distributed. All payments will be made directly to the educational institution on behalf of the winners, unless there is a good reason to make an exception to this rule. Applicants for the program must meet the following requirements: 1) be a member of St. Brendan's parish, 2) be someone accepted into a full time Catholic educational program (this includes home school programs), 3) be active within the community of St. Brendan's, 4) provide proof of educational costs, including books and other activity fees, net of all other scholarship(s)/award(s) money. The applicants will apply by writing an essay and submitting it by Sunday, June 28, 2015. The essay should be no more than one side of one page and should discuss the reasons why a Catholic education is important to the applicant and how he or she and the surrounding community will benefit from this child’s Catholic education. The parents of children entering kindergarten through 6th grade may write the essay on behalf of the child. For applicants entering the 7th grade or higher, the essay must be written by the applicant. All applicants will be evaluated by the Parish Council using a “blind” process (names are removed from the applications and instead they are given numbers; only the pastor knows who has applied and which application is from which student). The recipients will be notified in July, following the approval of the Parish Council. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Fr. Mullen at the parish office, or see him after Mass.
