College Scholarship Application Live

Invite your students to apply for more than $50,000 in scholarships to be awarded this summer As a counselor providing support to high school students, I invite you to share the Men’s College Scholarship with male high school seniors at St. Peters Preparatory School. Help your students feel prepared before they arrive on campus by encouraging them to apply!    SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION The scholarship is designed to identify and reward outstanding high school seniors who have demonstrated an ability to excel in the fields of academics, extra-curricular school activities and community involvement. It is available to any male, graduating senior who is enrolling in a four-year undergraduate college program that commences in the fall of 2024.   Did you know? Men are going to college with less frequency than in the past, and not persisting to graduation at the same rates as women. Per The Wall Street Journal, at the close of the 2020-21 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students, an all-time high, and men 40.5%, according to enrollment data from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), a nonprofit research group. Additionally, NSC Research Center data shows that during the fall 2021 term, undergraduate enrollment alone fell by 3.1% or 465,300 students. Men are choosing paths other than college. In an attempt to counter this trend and encourage young men to pursue a postsecondary education, the Men’s College Scholarship Program was launched in 2022 and in 2023 $55,000 was awarded to 78 deserving applicants. This year we are thrilled to once again offer more than $50,000 in scholarships to inspire college attendance and academic success by young men. Scholarships range from $500-$1,000 and are delivered directly to recipients — not their institution — via ACH transfer to use as desired. We feel a college education is important and want to assist young men who choose to attend. Please share this application today with your students and their parents/guardians! The deadline for applications is April 1, 2024 at 11:59 pm ET (8:59 pm PT).
