Alive in Christ Scholarship 2013-14 Scholarship Program To Launch Jan. 28

The Alive in Christ Scholarship Program for 2013-14 will launch during Catholic Schools Week. This Archdiocesan-wide program offers scholarships of $1,000-$2,000 based on financial need to students entering a Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese in Kindergarten - 4th grade, as well as to those students currently enrolled in a Catholic school whose families qualify. The scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, with applications being accepted beginning January 28, 2013. Funding for the scholarships is from an assessment paid into the fund by every parish of the Archdiocese. For the current school year, the eight schools in the Northeast Deanery Federation have received a total of nearly $320,000 in scholarship assistance, enabling over 100 new students to enroll at a Catholic school in North County and retaining an additional 90 students who were already enrolled but whose families were experiencing an increased financial need.
