2013 Padre Pio Full-Tuition Scholarship Competition

Full-tuition Padre Pio Scholarship competition requirements:

  • New incoming students (freshmen or transfers) must have SAT scores of 2100 or higher or ACT scores of 32 or above. They must have attained these scores prior to their visit to campus and meeting with the faculty panel.
  • Prior to their visit to Christendom, students must complete an application (includes submission of letters of recommendation, transcripts, test scores, and essays) for the Fall 2013 semester.
  • Students must visit campus on select weekends during the fall or spring semester and meet with a faculty panel for evaluation (visits must be arranged at least two weeks in advance with Liz Twaddle in the Admissions Office). Two weekends will be scheduled for the fall, and two for the spring. These dates will be posted on this page sometime closer to September 2012.
    • Faculty will meet with students between 4-5pm on the particular Fridays of the visit weekend.
  • Students must complete the online Scholarship Application form (which will be available to fill out in late August/early September) and write an essay of 1000 words on a specific topic (TBA) at least one week prior to making a visit to campus.
  • Students who meet eligibility requirements for the competition, and apply for the full-tuition scholarship but are not awarded the Padre Pio Scholarship, will each automatically receive a Presidential Scholarship valued at $31,000 (or more) over four years of study at Christendom College.
