The Scholarship Committee reviews the applications submitted for the annual St. Matthew Graduating Senior Scholarships and selects the recipients based on an evaluation system and set of criteria. The committee prepares and publicizes the Scholarship Competition (link), making the application available to all eligible parish high school graduating seniors.
The committee confers in the spring, following the submission deadline for scholarship applications. Scholarship funds must be used for future educational purposes. The members of the committee are appointed by the pastor; the chair rotates on an annual basis from among the committee members.
