Gannon new scholarships

[reposted from Erie Blogs] A $1 million gift from an anonymous donor will create a scholarship for students enrolled in Gannon University’s College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences.

The donor, a Gannon alumnus, has created the Cathedral College Endowed Merit Scholarship in the Liberal Arts. Gannon University was established, by Archbishop John Mark Gannon, as Cathedral College. The scholarship’s name is a tribute to the University’s founding name and to its early history. The scholarship is designed for academically qualified, full-time undergraduate students. Awards may be renewed annually, provided scholarship recipients maintain at least a 3.5 grade point average.

Preference for scholarship awards will be given to first-generation college students. Any individual, foundation, trust, company or other organization may at any time make additional gifts to the scholarship fund.

The College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences is comprised of more than 20 bachelor’s degree programs, five certificate programs, four associate’s degree programs and more than 20 academic minors. For more information on its programs of study, call 814-871-7549.
