John F. Donnelly Scholarship
John F. Donnelly Scholarship
(Continuing Education and Graduate Students may apply)
In addition, one must be employed with a participating school district or area corporation. If received, the scholarship is available for seven consecutive years or until graduation, whichever occurs sooner, as long as one remains an employee. The scholarship may be used whether or not you qualify for employer tuition reimbursement. It can be used by both degree-seeking and non-degree-seeking students in any field and can also be used in non-consecutive semesters. Post-traditional learners approximately 23 years or older are eligible to apply.
If you work for one of the organizations listed below, contact your human resources department for further information regarding the Donnelly Scholarship. You may also address questions to Aquinas College by emailing donnelly@aquinas.edu.
