Special Grant and Scholarship Programs
Through the generosity of our donors past and present, The Catholic Foundation supports the Catholic community through our Special Grant and Scholarship Programs.
Hal Tehan Scholar Award
The Hal Tehan Scholar Award (formerly known as the Catholic Foundation Scholars Award) recognizes a local Catholic high school junior each year.
All local Catholic high schools may nominate a junior student who exemplifies Catholic values, actively participates and contributes to the community and is generally in the top 5% of his or her class. The recipient receives a $10,000 scholarship for his or her senior year, while a $2,500 scholarship is awarded to each of the other nominees.
One nomination per school is submitted to The Catholic Foundation for review by a panel of our trustees.
Hal Tehan was a man fully dedicated to his faith and community. Following his death, The Catholic Foundation Scholar Award was renamed The Hal Tehan Scholar Award in honor of the late Foundation leader, donor and friend.
Catholic School Tuition Assistance
Through the help of our Catholic Foundation donors who are passionate about supporting Catholic education, tuition assistance is made directly with the school administrators to help students in need finance their Catholic education. Please contact your child’s Catholic school directly for more information on Catholic school tuition assistance.
