The Ursuline Scholarship Endowment makes it possible to offer excellence in Catholic education to qualified young women who may otherwise not be able to attend the Academy. This endowment is also a source for merit awards to reward student achievement and leadership.

Four types of scholarships are awarded annually. The number of awards in each category varies each year based on the number of students meeting the criteria and funding available. For financial assistance, families must meet financial requirements and submit documentation to substantiate need.
- Financial Assistance Awards
- Freshman Merit Awards
- Special Achievement Awards

Because of our parents, we were fortunate to have the opportunity and experience of a Catholic education.” “Through our gift and on behalf of our parents, we wanted to provide the opportunity of an Ursuline education and experience for generations to come.” THE STAUBACH CHILDREN

• With current resources, Ursuline is able to fund, on average, only 50% of any individual student's total need amount.
• In 2009-10, needs-based financial assistance will account for 92% of total scholarship funding.
• Significant growth in the Scholarship Endowment will allow Ursuline to fund higher levels of need, as well as a greater number of full scholarships for qualified and deserving students. |
