What is the eligibility criteria for Knights of Columbus scholarships and grants?

The eligibility criteria for Knights of Columbus scholarships and grants require applicants to be practicing Catholic men, aged 17 to 25. They must be enrolled in an accredited college, university, trade school, or seminary. Additionally, applicants should demonstrate academic excellence, with a minimum GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale. The selection process also considers involvement in local Catholic, community, and extracurricular activities. Candidates are expected to become leaders who serve others through charitable work. It is important to note that while the Knights of Columbus emphasizes Catholic values, scholarships and grants are not exclusive to members of the organization. Non-members who meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply and benefit from these opportunities.
