Kolping 2023 Scholarship Program

The National Kolping is proud to announce its 2023 Scholarship Program. This program is open to all active members of the Kolping Society and their immediate family members. To be considered active, members must have joined their local Kolping family at least two years ago and are current in their annual dues. Immediate family members are spouses/partners, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. This scholarship aims to provide financial support to students entering their senior year in high school in the Fall, as well as individuals attending accredited colleges, universities and/or trade schools.

You will be asked to complete an application, with submissions due by April 30th. The scholarships are as follows: high school seniors – $1,000; college, university and/or trade school students – $3,000. If you were awarded the college/university/trade school scholarship last year, you will not be eligible to submit an application this year. Anyone receiving scholarships in 2020 or 2021 may apply again. Winners will be announced at the end of May.

Please encourage eligible students to apply! We wish everyone the best of luck. If you have any questions, feel free to email kolpingus@gmail.com.
