The Reverend John T. Weyer Knights of Columbus Council 11343 is once again offering FOUR scholarships to the students of our parish. You do not have to be enrolled in Catholic school at this time to qualify, just a member of the parish. We will award TWO $1,000 scholarships to eighth grade students of St. Laurence Parish who will attend ANY of the Catholic high schools in the area for the first time in the fall of 2018. We will also award TWO $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are members of St. Laurence Parish entering college for the first time in the summer or fall of 2018.   Scholarship applications will be available on our website www.kofc11343.org on Sunday, March 25th. A link to the applications will be posted on the homepage. All instructions can be found on the application. The deadline for entry will be Sunday, April 15th, and winners will be announced by the end of May. Any further questions, please contact Nathan Raun at nathan.raun@gmail.com
