The Parish Matching Scholarship is available to incoming and current students who are recipients of a scholarship by a parish in any Catholic diocese. The university will match parish gifts up to, but not exceeding, $2,000 per academic year for a total of eight semesters. This matching gift program does not include gifts from denominations (e.g. Knights of Columbus, Newman Society, etc.) or other parachurch organizations (e.g. Campus Crusade for Christ, Focus on the Family, etc.). This is a matching gift scholarship program for individual parishes only. Before a scholarship gift is made to UD, the parish must determine that this scholarship program is within its benevolent and charitable purposes. Then, the treasurer or priest may recommend a specific student for the scholarship. However, the ultimate discretion regarding which student(s) from the church will be awarded the scholarship funds resides with UD. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
