ALUMNI > FRANCIS J. GEARY SCHOLARSHIP
Each spring, the Catholic Central/ West Catholic Alumni & Friends award $500 scholarships to at least four deserving juniors from each of the two schools. This award is applied against senior year tuition in August, as the school year begins. The Francis J. Geary Scholarship award is named in honor of a gentleman totally dedicated to Catholic education, and it attempts to recognize and reward students who best reflect and show a commitment to the values of our unique Catholic educational system.
Candidates are judged on criteria, which reflect the high schools’ beliefs in educating the "whole person." For this reason, this scholarship is not exclusively an academic award, but one that recognizes a blend of academic effort, loyalty to family and friends, service to the school and community and respect for other people and their views. Another factor taken into consideration is the financial situation of the family, especially in cases where sacrifices have been made to ensure the student's enrollment in our schools.
The Board of Directors of the CC/WC Alumni & Friends reviews all applications, and recipients will be presented the awards in late May. The winners will also be recognized in the CSS Update.
