The Pennsylvania State Council, Knights of Columbus, is offering ten scholarships for members, sons and daughters of members, and qualified members of the Columbian Squires. Each scholarship entitles the awardee to receive up to $4,000 over a six-year period to defray expenses for tuition, books, or maintenance in any college or school of nursing approved by the committee. Acceptance of one of these scholarships does not preclude the winner from enjoying any other scholarship the awardee may win unless other restrictions prevail.
Conditions of the Award:
- A currently paid-up member of a Knights of Columbus Council in the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.
- A child or stepchild of a currently paid-up member of a Knights of Columbus Council in Pennsylvania.
- Grandchildren are not eligible unless the grandfather is the legal guardian of the applicant.
- A child or stepchild of a deceased member of the Knights of Columbus in a Pennsylvania council who was not in arrears at the time of his death.
- A qualified Columbian Squire or Squire Rose.
Other conditions that must be met:
- The candidate must be a practicing Catholic in communion with the Holy See.
- The candidate must be a candidate for graduation in a recognized 4-year high school, or home-school equivalent, during the term ending June 2025 (or January 2025 for early graduates).
- The candidate must submit a properly completed application form -- with all the appropriate signatures as required on the application -- to the Scholarship Chairman of the Pennsylvania State Council, Knights of Columbus, no later than December 31, 2024.
- The council of the applicant must have completed and submitted Form 185 (Report of Officers Chosen for Term).
- The council of the applicant's father must sell at least 75 “Chance of a Lifetime” (C.O.A.L.) Chances for the 2024-2025 campaign. For Columbian Squires, the circle’s sponsoring council or assembly must sell at least 75 C.O.A.L. tickets by or before April 15, 2025. This claim will be checked against the COAL chairman’s records.
Each scholarship winner must attend a college, or a school of nursing affiliated with a hospital in order to receive payment. Such college or school may be under Catholic or non-Catholic auspices, subject to approval by the committee. Payments will be made to the school directly, not to the winner.
