Scholarship Program Open!

Post-High School Tuition Scholarship

Catholic Aid Association is now accepting applications for our scholarship program. Since 1955, Catholic Aid has given more than $2 million to our members in scholarships for higher education and job training. The scholarship program is open to any member (minimum two years membership) who is starting a degree or certification program from an accredited college, university, vocational or training institution.

Eligibility

* Applicant must be a member of Catholic Aid for at least 2 years (prior to application deadline and at the time the award is given).

* Applicant must be entering first or second year of post-high school education, as part of a degree or certificate program.

* If you have received our scholarship in the past, please do not apply again. In order to extend this fraternal benefit to as many CAA members as possible, we do not consider previous Catholic Aid scholarship recipients.

* The applicant must submit a completed scholarship application form, either the online version or the paper form. Deadline Paper applications must be received by our office (or post-marked) before Feb. 15, 2010. There are no exceptions.

Application Elements

* CAA Council: If you do not know which Catholic Aid council you are assigned to, leave blank. This information is verified before processing.

* Certificate/Annuity: The applicant must have a Catholic Aid life insurance certificate or annuity, and therefore a membership, to qualify. Certificate or annuity numbers of parents, grand-parents or guardians are not accepted. This information is verified before processing.

* Post-Secondary School Info: If you have not made a final decision, put your first choice. This information will be verified after recipients are notified, and can be changed.
