FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS
Parish Scholarship Program
The University of St. Thomas and participating Parishes of the Galveston-Houston Diocese jointly sponsor the Parish Scholarship Program, which provides full or partial scholarships to students who attend the University of St. Thomas. This shared scholarship program is offered to encourage more Archdiocesan youth to pursue their college education in a Catholic environment where they can continue to strengthen their faith and prepare to become active and supportive parishioners after graduation.

A parish contribution in any amount up to $10,000 annually per parish will be matched by UST.

Eligible students may be freshmen, continuing UST students or transfer students who maintain a minimum of 3.0 GPA, enroll for a full time load each semester and meet all other University scholarship guidelines, up to a maximum of 126 credits.

Students must be members of a participating Parish. Students and/or Parishes who would like information on participating in the parish scholarship program should contact the Scholarship and Financial aid office at 713/525-2170.

 
Out of State Catholicity Scholarship
The University of St. Thomas offers the Out of State Catholicity Scholarship to students who are members of Catholic Parishes outside of the state of Texas and are in need of financial aid. This scholarship is designed to encourage students to pursue academic excellence in the Catholic intellectual tradition, and prepare students to become active members of Catholic communities upon graduation.     

The Out of State Catholicity Scholarship is not a matched scholarship.  Awards are contingent upon available funding.  Eligible students may be freshmen, continuing UST students or transfer students who maintain a minimum of 3.0 GPA, enroll for a full time load each semester and meet all other University scholarship guidelines, up to a maximum of 126 credits.

Students will be required to submit proof of Parish membership. Students and/or Parishes who would like information on participating in the program should contact the Office of Scholarships & Financial aid at 713/525-2170.

 
Catholic School Teacher/Lay Minister Scholarship
This scholarship is for UST students who are Catholic school teachers or Lay ministers in their parish.  

These scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis (meaning deadline is on a rolling basis), as funding is limited.  Forms are available on June 1st of each academic year and the scholarship is designed to give half-tuition scholarships for ONE class in the fall semester, ONE class in the spring semesters and ONE class for each summer session, pending availability of funds.

This program is for undergraduate or graduate students and interested students must complete the application and will need to obtain signatures from their Catholic school or Parish for confirmation of their position.
