Applying For Catholic High School Scholarships
February 16th, 2010

Written by Melanie Ullman
Catholic High School Scholarships are made for those students, who cannot cope up with the rising cost of tuition fees and are in a mental dilemma on how to continue their education. Their parents look for alternatives of getting some kind of financial aid for their children so that they are able to continue their education. These scholarship programs for Catholic high school are actually annual awards, especially for those students who cannot pay for the high Catholic tuition.

Students are considered eligible for the scholarship, based on their household income (there are also specific scholarships for high school freshmen). This is indeed a boon for the students as well as the parents of those students, who wish to carry on with their education, but cannot do so, due to the lack of any kind of financial help. Those who wish to apply for the applications should need to know about the schools of the region in which they would to have their child admitted.

^ what do you think? ROP is the good stuff. it gave me 10 extra high school creds ^^ & is physics required? i could make changes to my junior sched. if i should..? should i take spanish my senior year?! i hate math.(: PLEASE HELP ME.

i also have lots of volunteer hours as a teacher aide at a summer school i worked at for two months. and im going to volunteer at st judes hospital. and my friend and i might start a club our junior year.. we dont know..

ROP is usually not approved for a-g so you would not even list it on your UC application (and it doesn’t help you with your GPA). For the science requirement, you must take 2 of the 3 fundamental subjects: biology, chemistry, physics. Long term commitment is favored by the UCs and 3-4 years of foreign language will look good.

UCSD (and most UCs) tends to be academic achievement oriented and favor students with rigorous HS curriculum (high number of a-g and UC-approved honors/AP/IB/CC courses), excellent weighted and unweighted GPA, and stellar SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Test scores. You are also compared to your peers, meaning your academic and extracurricular achievements are viewed in context of students in your HS.

First off – what type of jobs are you applying for?

For only 16, your resume is actually quite impressive. I can’t think of anything I would change. If you don’t receive a phone call from a prospective employer, you should call them (if possible). Simply state that you are "checking to see if there are any positions available and that you wished to express your interest in the job(s)." Or something of that nature.

In doing so you will make your name more recognizable and memorable to the employer. Plus showing interest makes you a better candidate even before you get the interview.

Don’t be discouraged – these are economically challenging times. I’ve seen a lot of part-time ‘teenager jobs’ being filled by older folks who have been laid off, and many more jobs have simply vanished.

(this one actually gives scholarships away based on monthly drawings…the more points you enter, the more chances you have of winning each month, totally legit, and you don’t have to have good grades or write any essays etc.)

The main reason I got transferred out of my middle school was because it was in a bad neighborhood, but even my elementary school aggravated me because there was a group of us ‘gifted’ kids who were always bored.

My parents are convinced that after 8th grade I’ll just go the the local public high school, but I really don’t want to go there. I was thinking of a Catholic school farther south. My parents say they don’t have the money and that it’s far away and I would have no one to drive me there.

I’m afraid to apply for a scholarship (which is rarely given there) because I don’t want my parents to get mad. So, I have about a year to convince them that it’s best I attend the private school. The question is: How am I going to do it?

Thank you for all the answers!

It sounds like they have two or more issues with your choice; the money and the distance.

You suggest the chance of a scholarship; if you do win one, that would (hopefully) answer their first objection, assuming it covers enough of the cost that they can and are willing to pick up the rest. So, go ahead and apply; you can always decline if the other problems don’t work out.

Distance is trickier. They specify one immediate problem with it: getting you to and from the school. How could you answer that? You can’t drive yourself, and it sounds like they are unable to take you. I would guess that it’s far enough that the school doesn’t have buses out to your area, or simply doesn’t have a school bus system. You could take a taxi each day, but then how would you pay for it? What about public transportation — how safe is it? Is it even possible to take public transportation each way? Any friends nearby who attend, who might be able to take you? Any other options? Your parents are right — if you can’t get there, there’s little point in paying to go; so it’s up to you to find an answer for this, too.

Another thing about distance you didn’t mention but might be on their minds: how much time will it take out of your day to travel to and from it? Will this eat into your homework time? Or prevent you from doing extracurricular activities, because you have to get on the road? How could you be sure you have enough time for school, for travel, for homework, for extracurricular activities, for family time, and for sleep?
