Scholarship Opportunities Available Through Knights of Columbus Texas State Council

The Texas State Council will award at least one $1,000 Educational Grant per diocese and two more $1,000 At-Large Educational Grants.  The total number of grants for each Diocese will be determined using a formula based on the number of Regular Members, on July 1, in each Diocese. Applications for these grants are due March 1.  Winners will be announced at the State Convention.

Who Is Eligible for the Individual Educational Grant?

An applicant must be a Knight of Columbus member in good standing of a Council located in Texas, his wife, son, or daughter. A granddaughter or grandson of a member in good standing in a Council in Texas may apply if their father is not a Knight or is not in good standing. Descendants of deceased members or grandfathers who were in good standing are also eligible. Any graduating senior of a Catholic High School in Texas is eligible when sponsored by a local Council in Texas – even when the student’s parent or grandparent is not a Knight.

Educational Grant money is to be used for education in a University, College, Junior College, Technical School, Business School or Seminary.

The application must be completed and received by March 1.
