A $500 scholarship will be awarded to a student interested in presenting research on Saint John Henry Newman and how his teachings can be applied to college students. The Catholic Studies Scholar will research and present about the topic from their own perspective and discipline by March 31, 2020.
In 1998 a Catholic Studies Scholarship Fund was established to award students who have expressed an interest in the general area of Catholic studies. We are grateful for the contributions made through The University of Iowa Center for Advancement towards the Newman Catholic Studies Scholarship Fund! Applications are on the student table and here online. Please contact Laurie or Jocie if you have questions.

The deadline to register online, sign the release form, and pay $35 (cash or check) to Christine is Thursday, February 13, 2020. No one will be turned away due to cost - financial assistance is available. The first 30 students to register are eligible for an air mattress provided by Newman for the weekend.
