Knights of Columbus Supreme Council Scholarships (US Undergraduates)

Entering freshmen at an approved Catholic college or university in the United States may apply. Eligible applicants are Knights of Columbus members in good standing, their children, children of deceased members who were in good standing at death, or Columbian Squires in good standing. Some endowed funds require FAFSA SAR reporting for demonstrated financial need.

Awards provide up to $1,500 per year, renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study with satisfactory academic performance. The number of new awards each year depends on scholarship trust earnings; the Supreme Council distributed nearly $1 million in scholarships in the most recent cycle.

Applications are submitted online through the ISTS portal (program key KofC). New applications open March 5 and close April 22; renewal applications are accepted March 5 through June 30.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization founded in 1882. Fourth Degree Pro Deo and Pro Patria endowed funds support these national undergraduate awards.
