Merit Awards & Scholarships
In addition to need-based financial aid, we are proud to offer merit-based awards and scholarships. These include awards recognizing students for Catholic discipleship, academic achievement, and excellence in the fine arts.
If you think your child may be eligible for an award, we encourage you to nominate him or her, or you can request a nomination from your student's principal, teacher, or priest.
The majority of our merit awards are applied to a student's tuition freshman year. Scholarship priority is given to families who complete the admissions process prior to Dec. 31st of their child's 8th grade year.

Amount: up to $2000 renewable annually
Eligibility: 8th grade students
This scholarship is established by her husband, John "Jack" Casey, in remembrance of Rosemarie Casey (1934 to 2012). She was a loving, caring wife, mother, and friend for 54 years. Her three sons, daughters-in-law, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren loved her unconditionally, and she returned that love a hundredfold. She was a devout Catholic who attended religious instruction, volunteered in establishing the Monsignor Clark School Library, and taught Sunday school and CCD in her early years.
