Through the generosity of numerous benefactors, Newman Center established a fund through The University of Iowa Center for Advancement for two annual partial scholarships to be awarded to one male and one female student-athlete involved at the Newman Center.

CATHOLIC STUDIES SCHOLARSHIP
The Catholic Studies Scholarship was established in 1998 by Casey D. Mahon of Iowa City. Ms. Mahon received a B.A. in social work in 1973 and a J.D. in 1976 from the University of Iowa. This annual scholarship is awarded to students who have expressed an interest in the general area of Catholic studies. With the inauguration of the Rossi Faith and Culture speaker series in the spring of 2018, the Catholic Studies Scholar research topic has aligned with one of the national speakers invited to present at Newman during that academic year. This is a great opportunity for us to prepare and explore deeper a relevant current topic and how it intersects with our faith and culture today.
A special thanks to the generosity of many beneficiaries who support these Newman Catholic Student Center Scholarship Funds at The University of Iowa Center for Advancement. These funds make these scholarships possible.
