Class of 2025, it’s your turn!

The Counseling Department was extremely happy to contribute to our April “Spring Forward” campaign by hosting the inaugural Powers Catholic College Fair today. This event allowed our 10-11th grade students and parents the ability to meet and speak with admissions representatives from 58 different Colleges and Universities, 4 branches of the armed forces (including West Point and the Air Force Academy), trade schools, and scholarship organizations. The event was a tremendous success and we hope all our students were able to get a glimpse of their options for the future. Special thanks to Mr. John Fitzko and all our wonderful Senior student volunteers.

***SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION***
Applications for Wilsterman Scholarships may be submitted by students who have graduated from a high school located within Genesee County, Michigan. Applications may be submitted in any of the six years following the year of graduation from high school.

Unlike typical scholarships, GPA is not a controlling factor. The Wilsterman Foundation is interested first and foremost in finding students who have great potential but may have struggled in high school due to extenuating circumstances such as work, family issues, setbacks or even “late blooming”. Extra-curricular and community service activities are also heavily considered, all with a focus on the student's character, financial need, and potential.

The Wilsterman Foundation is currently offering scholarships up to a maximum of $5,000 per year which can be received for up to four years. Awards are made at the sole and absolute discretion of the Advisory Board.
DUE - March 1st, 2024
