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.
