Memorial Scholarship Winners Announced

Updated: Jun 10, 2023


The Trustees of the Northeast Catholic Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc have selected the grant winners for 2023. The Memorial Scholarship Fund was created over 50 years ago to provide tuition assistance to North Catholic students to attend Allentown College, now De Sales University. Over the years, the fund has changed to provide tuition assistance to North Catholic students, and now with our beloved school being closed, our focus shifted to providing grants for elementary, high school and college students to children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of active Northeast Catholic Alumni. These scholarships are selected by the Trustees, using a proven process, considers a student’s financial need and academic success. It is a competitive process, so the Trustees do their best without having knowledge of the current school or the future school of each applicant.


Currently, the Northeast Catholic Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund awards 4-year awards to five high school seniors to attend a Catholic College/University in the 5 county Philadelphia area, along with De Sales University, 4-year awards to twenty 8th grade students to attend a Catholic School in the Philadelphia, Camden and Trenton dioceses, as well as 3-year awards for ten 5th grade students for Catholic Schools in the Philadelphia, Camden and Trenton Dioceses.

The grants awarded by the Northeast Catholic Alumni Scholarship Fund, Inc are only made possible due to the generosity of our Alumni, as well as the families, friends and supporters of the Northeast Catholic High School and the Alumni Association. In addition to the financial support, the Trustees would like to acknowledge the hard work throughout the year of our Alumni Board of Governors, who donate their time and energy to run events throughout the year to support the Memorial Scholarship Fund.


The full list of Scholarships awarded in 2023 can be found below, along with a list of schools who will be receiving awards from this fund during the 2023-2024 school year. More information on the Northeast Catholic Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc can be found on our website.
