​​Diocese of Grand Rapids announces Faith & Future Scholarship and free tuition drawings
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
– A new scholarship will support families’ investment in Catholic education
in the Diocese of Grand Rapids. Beginning fall 2020, every kindergartner, 6th grader, and 9th
grader in the diocese’s 31 Catholic schools will be eligible for the Faith & Future Scholarship, worth
$100 toward tuition. There is also a bonus of $50 if the student completed 5th or 8th grade at one of
the diocese’s Catholic schools, for a total possible scholarship value of up to $150.
The scholarship announcement comes during Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 26-Feb. 1, a nationwide
event celebrating Catholic education. The announcement was made at the diocese’s annual
Catholic Schools Week Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew on Jan. 28, with student
representatives from Catholic schools around the diocese in attendance.
To receive the Faith & Future Scholarship, parents of future kindergartners, 6th graders, and 9th
graders must complete
​the scholarship application​, and subscribe to ​the CatholicSchools4U.org
blog
and to the weekly newsletter from digital safety experts ​Protect Young Eyes​, a community
partner of Catholic schools in the diocese.
Along with the Faith & Future Scholarship, the diocese also announced a drawing to give away one
year of free tuition to one kindergartner, one 6th grader, and one 9th grader in fall 2020. Families
who complete their enrollment and meet the other Faith & Future Scholarship requirements by April
30, 2020, will be automatically entered in the giveaway. The winners will be selected in a random
drawing.
Other scholarships at the diocesan, parish, and school levels also support families’ investment in
Catholic education, including need-based scholarships.
“I am grateful every day to the families who choose Catholic schools, and the Faith & Future
Scholarship is another way the Diocese of Grand Rapids partners with families to provide this
inspiring education to their children,” said David Faber, superintendent of Catholic schools in the
diocese. “An education centered in Christ offers outcomes that are second to none.”
