Merit Scholarships for Middle and Upper School students
The Atonement Catholic Academy is pleased to offer 50 merit-based $1,000 scholarships for middle and upper school students that apply by July 31st, 2023. The scholarship is open to current and prospective students entering our middle or upper school.

Prior grades and performance will not impact the scholarship decision.
The selected recipients will receive a one-time credit of $1,000 to their school tuition account for the 2023-2024 academic year. Students can apply in subsequent years, but being an awardee in one year does not guarantee a scholarship in subsequent years.

   2. How do young individuals effectively represent the Catholic faith in the world? How can you be a living testament of the Catholic faith?

   3. How do you effectively love and witness to those whose ideologies are supremely contrary to your own?
