The Milwaukee Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women are very honored to announce that we will once again be able to offer scholarship opportunities to 8th grade girls from across the Archdiocese. Through the wonderful and outstanding generosity of our benefactor, the John and Kathleen Schneider Foundation 3 scholarships of $1,500 each will be awarded to 8th grade girls who are planning to attend Catholic High schools in the Fall of 2025. That family has been fully aware of the rising cost of high school education and have continually over the last several years increased their financial commitment to our organization’s scholarship program. For that we are eternally grateful.

If you know of an 8th grade girl, perhaps a daughter, granddaughter, niece, family friend or parish member, please make them aware of this opportunity for some financial assistance. Strongly encourage them to send in an application. In the upcoming months, more detailed publicity and applications will be sent to our Archdiocesan elementary school offices and parishes to put in their weekend bulletins. These will include the specific requirements to be sent in and the application deadline dates. The awards are usually announced in mid-Spring.

Should you have any questions, please contact the MACCW Scholarship Chair, Bea Sikorski at 262-363-4312.
