SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FRESHMEN
Renewable Scholarship Information
The following scholarships are renewable each of the years the student attends Seton LaSalle, provided the student maintains the academic requirements and exhibits the positive attributes of a Seton LaSalle student as outlined in the Seton LaSalle Handbook.
SETON LASALLE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Seton LaSalle offers academic scholarships to high-achieving students who took the placement test at Seton LaSalle and received a composite score in the 85th percentile or higher. Award amounts are determined by the Scholarship Committee based upon the number of applications received and the strength of those applications. This scholarship cannot be combined with the J.L.Merrick Scholarship. A student is welcome to apply to both scholarships, but if he/she is selected as a J.L. Merrick Recipient or Honorable Mention, the family would choose which scholarship they wish to retain.

St. La Salle Tuition Assistance Fund
BACKGROUND:
St. John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and the Patron Saint of Educators, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's Sisters of Charity both made it their mission to educate the poor. This fund is intended to assist those who financially are unable to consider attending a Catholic school.
In order to extend to more students of promise, who will become our Catholic leaders in the future, this fund is established.
GUIDELINES:
All funds are restricted for distribution as follows:
- Only students who are entering their Freshman or Sophomore year at SLS are eligible unless changing financial circumstances would qualify upperclassmen
- Only Roman Catholic students are eligible
- Only students who have maintained a "B" average in all subjects are eligible
- Only students from families whose annual income does not exceed 35% (50% if more than one child) above what is determined the poverty level are eligible.
- Parents must submit a brief application form in early March including documentation of a) financial eligibility; b) evidence of involvement in a local parish; c) academic eligibility
- A review committee composed of three faculty members and one administrator shall consider all applications and determine the amount of financial assistance to be provided.
- Funds can only be applied to tuition assistance. Funds are only provided for one academic year, but a student may apply again for additional years with the same requirements in effect.
- Awards are announced on the feast of St. La Salle, April 7.
- Provide 50 hours of service to the school in ways determined appropriate by the selection committee
- Attempt to "pay back" the award received at some future date with some additional token of their appreciation (not legally binding)
The fund is to be increased each year by an appeal to alumni and/or fund raising activities. Solicited funds may not be allocated for any other purpose.
The school agrees to match the awarded amount with "tuition forgiveness" or tuition aid from other sources.

MICHAEL J. RILEY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
When his playing days ended, Mike applied the same grit, tenacity, and passion he had as a sportsman to business. He founded All Pro Painters and over thirty years grew it into one of the premier residential and commercial painting companies in Western Pennsylvania.
Mike always attributed his successes on and off the field to the values he learned while attending South Catholic. As a fitting honor, his family established the Michael J. Riley Memorial Scholarship, a yearly tuition grant given to student athletes.
