IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR YOUR APPLICATION PROCESS
 

PLEASE NOTE:
The completed application is due no later than March 3, 2023.  Only signed, completed applications submitted on time will be considered.  You will need to contact your selected academic and character reference people well in advance of the due date to give them ample time to compose and submit recommendations to St. Thomas by the due date.

PLEASE NOTE ADVICE FROM THE SCHOLARSHIP SELECTION COMMITTEE:
A committee will be reviewing your completed application form.  How you represent yourself on paper is very important.  Committee members might not know you personally and will rely mainly on your written word to represent you during the selection process.  Be sure your responses directly and concisely address the questions asked.  Take time to review your responses for content, style, and correct grammar.  (This advice applies to any scholarship you apply for, not just this one.)

If you have any questions please email/call Adam Koehler, Campus Minister.
