Several scholarships are available for students in the Catholic Diocese of Columbus. Last year, thanks to the generosity of its donors, The Catholic Foundation awarded over $200,000 in scholarships. To date, the Foundation has granted over $1.75 million to help empower young people in their academic and vocational studies.
