Scholarship Contest

  • Scholarship Contest

    For High School Juniors and Seniors

The Cardinal Newman Society’s tenth annual Newman Guide College Scholarship Contest will open in December 2025 and close in February 2026. The winner will be announced by May 2026 and will be awarded $5,000 toward the cost of attending a Newman Guide Recommended college in the fall of 2026 or 2027.

 The scholarship is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Guiffre family, supporters of The Cardinal Newman Society and faithful Catholic education.

Additionally, there is the opportunity for the winner of the Contest to be awarded $20,000 over the course of four years. Several of the Newman Guide colleges have agreed to supplement The Cardinal Newman Society scholarship with additional $5,000 grants over three additional years.  Learn which Newman Guide Recommended colleges supplement the scholarship at this link.
