Parish Scholarship Program
The University of St. Thomas and participating Parishes of the Galveston-Houston Diocese jointly sponsor the Parish Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships to students who attend the University of St. Thomas. This shared scholarship program is offered to encourage more Archdiocesan youth to pursue their college education in a Catholic environment where they can continue to strengthen their faith and prepare to become active and supportive parishioners after graduation.
Parish contributions will be matched by UST, contingent on availability of funding. Eligible students may be freshmen, continuing UST students or transfer students who maintain a minimum of 2.5 GPA, enroll for a full time load each semester and meet all other University scholarship guidelines, up to a maximum of 126 credits.
Students must be members of a participating Parish & must complete the application process. Scholarship eligibility will be determined every May. Students must have the following in order to qualify:
-Cumulative 2.5 GPA (current or high school)
-Full time enrollment
-Undergraduates only
-Parish membership within Houston/Galveston Archdiocese
Students should ensure the Office of Admissions has their participating Parish listed on their application for admission. Students and/or Parishes who would like information on participating in the program should contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid at 713/525-2170. |
Out of State Catholicity Scholarship
The Out of State Catholicity Scholarship is available to students who are members of Catholic Parishes outside of Galveston-Houston Archdiocese or outside the state of
Texas and are in need of financial aid. This scholarship is designed to encourage students to pursue academic excellence in the Catholic intellectual tradition and prepare students to become active members of Catholic communities upon graduation.
The Out of State Catholicity Scholarship is not a matched scholarship. Consideration for the scholarship will be made during the admissions application process for incoming freshman and transfer students. Awards may be renewable and are contingent upon availability of funding.
