Scholarship Opportunties
Luker-Meyer Scholarship
For St. Joseph School Students
In honor of Dr. and Mrs. Luker’s parents, Norman, Shirley, Merlin, and Lois, this annual scholarship fund of $25,000.00 will provide up to 50% scholarships for children from our parish. The purpose of the Luker-Meyer Scholarships is to help parish families with children to have the opportunity of a Catholic education.
The scholarship is intended to follow the individual child through their time at St. Joseph School. The scholarship is renewable as long as the child continues to demonstrate satisfactory academic performance and the family qualifies through FACTS and fulfills the requirements outlined below.
Families must be practicing Catholics, active members at Saint Joseph Church and fulfill the need qualification. To demonstrate need, families must first complete the FACTS process. Families must also complete the Tuition Parishioner Discount agreement.
Recipients are required to join Msgr. Harris and Dr. and Mrs. Luker for a beginning of school year luncheon.
As the scholarship follows each individual child, families must apply for each child they are seeking the scholarship for. Families with students in kindergarten (5k) through sixth grade may apply.
​
Scholarship recipients will be announced at the school Mass on Friday, May 10 at 9 AM. Recipients and immediate family members will be invited to a reception immediately after Mass, at the Ministries & Administration Building, to meet the Lukers.
