Knights of Columbus Scholarship Program

Every year our Knights of Columbus Council awards scholarships to local high school graduates who successfully complete a competitive application process. In the recent past, we have given two scholarships of $500.00 each. This year, we will be awarding one scholarship of $1,000.00 and one scholarship of $500.00.

The awardees from the year 2008 are shown below.

If you are a high school graduate for the year 2009 and wish to compete for this scholarship, please review the application process below.

Congratulations to the Awardees of 2008!

Micayla Turner and Jemar Roble Tan are local graduates. Congratulations are extended to them since they were awarded a competitive $500.00 and $1000.00 scholarship from the St. Isidore Council 5978 of the Knights of Columbus.
