All
scholarships will be renewed for each successive
school year at Mother Seton provided the student
attains the necessary academic average in all major
courses. In addition, the student is expected to
participate in other aspects of Mother Seton's advanced
level courses and programs as she progresses in
her high school career. Responsibility in the areas
of leadership and service to others in the school
community is also necessary.
In
order to allow each applicant the freedom to select
the high school of her choice, Mother Seton Regional
High School will match any individual academic scholarship
offered by any local Catholic high school. If a
student is awarded several scholarships from various
schools, MSRHS will match the one highest amount
offered. If a student is awarded a percentage scholarship,
we will award that percentage of the Mother Seton
rate of tuition. It must be understood that the
student must have applied to Mother Seton, must
qualify academically for the scholarship and must
pursue a course of study on an Honors level.
