College Confidential - View Single Post - Scholarships for kids who attend Catholic High School

Are there any colleges that give you a scholarship just for being a Catholic High School graduate?

Son prefers to go to a Catholic college, and he has attended Catholic school his entire life.

Do any Catholic colleges give you automatic scholarships, with reasonable stats, of course, just for coming from a Catholic school? IE, they don't require an essay, lots of recs, and only limited number given, so have to compete against others.

Looking for something like maybe: Automatic 5K scholarship just for coming from a Catholic HS with good but not spectular scores.

Son has 31 ACT and 2100 SAT. Probably top 20 percent in class, though school doesn't rank. Unweighted GPA probably between 3.0 and 3.5. Unweighted is 4.0. Taken all honors courses and APs throughout HS career.

Thanks for any info!
