Founder’s Scholarships & South County District CYC Scholarships

Each year St. Justin Martyr Athletic Association awards Founder’s Scholarships to two (2) St. Justin Martyr Parish School 8th Grade students that will continue their education at a Catholic high school. Founder’s Scholarships recipients are recognized at SJM Parish School graduation in May. The $500 award will be sent directly to the recipients selected Catholic high school. Recipients of the SJMAA Founder’s Scholarships are selected by the Father Bill, Principal Schroff and the SJMAA Board.

St. Louis South County District CYC Scholarships are awarded to students from member parishes across the South County District CYC at a banquet typically held in April. SJMAA will submit two (2) 8th grade students, one girl and one boy, from SJM School to be considered for this $500 award.

The application process for the Founder’s Scholarships and South County CYC Scholarships is the same and requires:

1. A completed South County District CYC Scholarship Application
