2025 Scholarship Recipients Announced

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Northeast Catholic Alumni Scholarship Fund, I would like to congratulate all the recipients of the 2025 Scholarship Grants!  It is with great pride and gratitude we are able to grant these awards on behalf of the generosity of all the donors to the Scholarship Fund. We would also like to thank all of the students who applied for the scholarship grants.  We wish that we were able to award grants to all who applied.  We are confident you all will be successful in your pursuit of academic knowledge in the future!  Please know that you will be in our thought and prayers as you continue on your journey.

Please remember, in the words of St. Francis de Sales; “Be who you are and be that perfectly well.”

Congratulations,
