Millions of Dollars in Scholarships Earned

Later this month, 531 seniors are set to graduate from one of six Catholic high schools—Ashtabula Saint John, Canton Central Catholic, Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas, Warren John F. Kennedy (JFK), Youngstown Cardinal Mooney and Youngstown Ursuline. 

Though this year’s graduates are still receiving and considering scholarship offers, based on past years, scholarship offers for the graduates from the six high schools are expected to total in the millions.
