The Catholic Foundation congratulates the three recipients of its scholarships for the 2021 tertiary studies’ year and wishes them all well in their chosen courses.
The scholarships worth $2,000 each, are awarded for the first year of a student’s tertiary study. The 2021 awards were presented at college prize-giving events at the end of 2020.
