SAINT MICHAEL’S COLLEGE

On behalf of Saint Michael’s College, I am pleased to announce the continuation of our Parish Scholarship Program for students entering college in the fall of 2009. As you know, the Parish Scholarship is just one way we strive to embody the mission of Saint Michael’s as a Catholic institution founded by the Society of Saint Edmund over 100 years ago and that we recognize Vermont’s most promising Catholic students. Each parish in the Catholic Diocese of Burlington may select one of its parishioners to receive a tuition scholarship of up to $11,000 over four years (up to $2,750 per year) at Saint Michael’s College. The nominee must be a first-year applicant for admission to Saint Michael’s College. The amount of the scholarship will be determined by financial need with no recipient receiving less than $1,500 per year. The scholarship may only be applied to tuition at Saint Michael’s College and one-half of the scholarship will be credited at the beginning of each semester. Please contact Fr. Ted at 775-1994.
