HOWLEY FAMILY SCHOLARSHIPS
The Howley Family Foundation scholarship will usually be awarded to incoming 9th grade students. The purpose is to assist well rounded students with strong academic credentials to attend private high schools. Though the amount may vary on a case by case basis, the award will generally be a scholarship of between $1500 and $2500 per year for four years of attendance.
To be selected for the award a student must:
1-Demonstrate significant financial need as defined by the financial aid evaluation process currently used by the school.

To maintain the award a student must:
