Tide Fund |
| Scholarship for Continuing Education
Students: Complementing the various scholarships already
available for Aquinas students specifically through recommendation
of the Theology Department, we are pleased to announce new funds
made available through the generosity, and in memory, of the
late Fr. James C. Cusack, an outstanding religious educator
and priest. The Father James C. Cusack Rising Tide Fund supports
Catholic men and women who seek to grow in their faith, deepen
their knowledge, and develop their skills so that they may,
as faithful stewards, offer their gifts in service to the Catholic
Church and to the West Michigan community. The Cusack Fund partners

to provide financial assistance to non-traditional students
who are enrolled at Aquinas for course study under one of the
following programs: |

Rapids

Grand Rapids
