This scholarship is offered through the Lincoln Diocese. In an effort to help keep tuition affordable and to reward students’ who work hard, a generous benefactor has offered to pilot a Work Ethic Grant program for students starting their junior and senior years this fall at any Lincoln Diocesan high school.
Eligible students will receive a grant of up to $1,000 that will be applied to their tuition. The grant will be calculated based on the number of hours a student has worked between July 1 and November 1. Students will receive a $5 per hour credit for up to 200 hours maximum.
Qualified work includes part-time jobs as well as those types of work where no typical paycheck is received such as family farms, self-employment, mowing lawns, etc. If a family has already paid their tuition in full prior to Nov. 1, reimbursement will be issued.
This is separate from other scholarships provided by the Diocese. There is NO NEED to fill out anything in FACTS.Â
