KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS - SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship applications from graduating high school seniors are being accepted by the Our Lady of Mercy Knights of Columbus Council.

An application form, including a brief essay, along with a certified and sealed transcript from the applicant’s school are required and should be submitted to the church office. The deadline is Sunday, May 17. It is understood that the transcript will only include grades through the most recent grading period. Please remind others who may be interested in applying. The application form is available on the OLM website. Watch the bulletin for reminders.
