SCHOLARSHIPS
Knights of Columbus 347 Memorial Scholarships
In Memory of our Brother Knights, Edward Brady & Francis X. Duggan
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 347 SCHOLARSHIPS
This scholarship was started over 25 years ago. We have awarded thousands of dollars over the years to children or grandchildren of brother Knights as well as other local students. You don’t need to be Catholic or a family member of a Knight to win a scholarship.
Each year, a committee of five brother Knights receives some thirty to forty applications through the Guidance Department at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School and other local schools.
