Scholarship Given at Seton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Six Seton scholars have been named by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA).

The Seton scholarships are given every year in conjunction with the Seton Awards, NCEA’s highest honor. Seton Awards are given in recognition of significant philanthropic, leadership or service contributions to Catholic education, and each honoree designates one student as a Seton scholar.

The scholars will receive the Seton Scholarship during the 19th annual Seton dinner and awards ceremony on Oct. 5 at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.

The Seton scholars represent the Dioceses of Orange and Pittsburgh, and the Archdioceses of Boston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Seattle. A press release on each student can be found by clicking on the link below.
