To qualify for a need based scholarship a student must have completed a financial aid form for the current year. All recipients must have written and sent a thank you for any award received the prior year to be eligible to receive an award for the current year. Status letters are sent out at the end of each fiscal year by the President notifying the donor (or person being honored) of the corpus amount, spend rate and scholarship recipient. Generally, the Scholarship committee continues need based awards year to year until the student graduates, provided the student is in good standing, but this is not a requirement, and the award should be reviewed if the family has an increase in financial status.
Donations can be made to any existing scholarships. Endowed scholarships can be established by following the guidelines established by the Advancement Office and approved by the Board of Directors. Details can be provided from the Advancement Office. All donation checks are to be made out to St Joseph High School, and please note the scholarship name in the memo field. In working with donors, the Advancement Office always encourages ways to help students attending St Joseph High School as its first priority.
