Calling all high school seniors! If you’re making a difference in your parish or community, Catholic Charities Madison wants to celebrate the way you’re putting your faith into action.
Applications are now open for the Mary Jeanne Kennedy Anderson Youth Faith in Action Scholarship, awarding $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors who demonstrate a commitment to serving others and living out their Catholic faith.
Maybe you volunteer at your parish, serve meals, mentor younger students, lead a service project, help neighbors in need, or have found your own way to make a difference. Your service matters—and we want to hear your story.
Established in 2014, the scholarship honors the life and legacy of Mary Jeanne Kennedy Anderson, a former Catholic Charities Madison board member whose Catholic faith inspired a lifelong commitment to her family, children, and community.
Eligible applicants must be high school seniors who live within the Diocese of Madison, belong to a Diocese of Madison parish, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and plan to attend a college, university, or technical school in 2027.
Ready to put your faith into action? Apply by Friday, December 11, 2026.
Students, parents, grandparents, teachers, parish leaders, and friends: help us spread the word and encourage an inspiring young person in your life to apply!
