Seniors
College decisions are rolling in!
For many, this season brings a mix of excitement over acceptances and disappointment from denials. Some students may also receive deferrals, which means their applications will be reviewed again during the regular decision round. This can feel a bit like being in limbo. Check out this fantastic article about dealing with a deferral decision. No matter the outcome, remember that you are more than an admission decision!
Didinium Endowment Scholarship
The Catholic Foundation, in partnership with the Department of Catholic Schools, is pleased to offer a scholarship opportunity for seniors attending Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Tucson.

Four recipients will each receive $4,500 to support their education at an accredited post-secondary institution. Funds may be used toward tuition, fees, books, supplies, and required course equipment. Applications are due no later than December 15, 2025. Scholarships will be awarded in May 2026.
