The Grant Application Process

We are no longer accepting requests for applications for the 2025-26 school  year. We will begin accepting requests for applications on Nov 1, 2025 for the 2026-27 school year for eligible students who are in the 5th, 8th or 12 grade during the 2025-26 school year

ELIGIBILITY - To be eligible for an Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund scholarship, the student must be the child, grandchild or great-grandchild of a living and active (dues paying) member of the Northeast Catholic Alumni Association.  This will be determined before an application is sent out to the requesting family. The student, during the CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR, must be in 5th grade to apply for a grade school scholarship, 8th grade for a high school scholarship, or 12th grade for a college scholarship.  Finally, the scholarships are only payable to schools within the boundaries of the Philadelphia, Camden and Trenton dioceses.  The only exception is De Sales University.
 

Application Process - Using the button below, an application must be requested for each student wishing to be considered for a scholarship.  Once eligibility is established, an application will be sent to the requesting family for each student.  If a family is requesting for more than one student, a separate request needs to be made for each student.

​​

Selection Process - The Memorial Fund Trustees review every application and select the recipients based solely on the applicant meeting the eligibility requirements listed above, and scholarship grants are awarded based on the financial need of the family, and the academic ability of the student.
