The Scholarship Committee reviews the applications submitted for the annual St. Matthew Graduating Senior Scholarships and selects the two recipients of $500 based on an evaluation system and set of criteria. Scholarship funds must be used for future educational purposes. All applicants must be parishioners and active members of Total Youth Ministry.
The committee prepares and publicizes the Scholarship Competition (LINK) in the winter, making the application available to all eligible parish high school graduating seniors. The committee confers in the spring, following the April 1st submission deadline for scholarship applications. Scholarships are presented at the annual Baccalaureate Mass in June.
The members of the Scholarshop Committee are appointed by the pastor; the chair rotates on an annual basis from among the committee members.
