Full-Tuition Scholarship Opportunity for High School Juniors

The Saint Michael’s College Book Award for Community Engagement is a full-tuition scholarship opportunity for high school juniors throughout the United States as well as internationally. Students must be nominated by their school counselor and should embody the qualities of a Saint Michael’s student, including a sincere commitment to community service, issues of peace and justice, and concern for others. Nominees should also demonstrate a degree of academic excellence and rigor. Students at Saint Michael’s live and learn by these core values, instilled by our founders, the Society of Saint Edmund.

Student nominees must submit their application for admission by our Early Action Deadline of their senior year to be considered for the full-tuition scholarship.

 

“A thing I love about St. Mike’s is the support and care from every advisor and staff member on campus. I have made such great connections…I just feel so supported.”
– Jenna Gagne ’25

“Kindness is, I think, one of the least costly, yet most powerful agents of change we have to create a positive ripple effect that can change the world. Because of one act of kindness, you can pass it on to another person, then to another, and so on. The ripple effect never stops.”
