John Paul the Great Catholic University (œJPCatholic) has announced two
new scholarship programs for California residents who start at the
University this fall. The scholarship programs were created in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has stalled or disrupted the plans of
many college-bound students. Fall classes begin on Sept. 30 and the
University is planning to hold classes on-campus while taking
appropriate health and safety precautions.
The COVID Zero Tuition Scholarship for California Cal Grant-A eligible students
covers their tuition gap completely. When combined with state and
federal aid, eligible new freshmen and transfer students will be able to
attend JPCatholic with zero out-of-pocket tuition costs and without
using any loans. œThe COVID-19 lockdown in California has had a disparate impact on
the families of Cal Grant eligible students “ they have burdened the
brunt of the economic pain. This is a very targeted scholarship program
to help students for whom a private Catholic education is financially
out of reach, said Dr. Derry Connolly, JPCatholic's founding president. The Stay Local Scholarship for San Diego County students
who are not Cal Grant-A eligible will provide eligible new freshmen and
transfer students with aid packages that bridge their financial
need. For many, this scholarship will make JPCatholic's education
financially comparable to local public CSU and UC institutions. The Stay
Local Scholarship is designed to make JPCatholic's on-campus private
education affordable for students who have abandoned their out-of-state
enrollment plans or are looking for an on-campus experience this fall
now that many local institutions are fully online. œAs more graduating seniors are considering staying closer to home
this year because of COVID, we want to ensure regional students have
access to a quality and affordable Catholic education right here in San
Diego county, said Martin Harold, VP for Enrollment and Student
Success. œBoth of these scholarship programs can remove the logistical
and financial obstacles for local students who are interested in
pursuing a project-based, on-campus education in Creative Arts, Media,
Business or Humanities. The University describes itself as œThe Catholic University for
Creative Arts and Business Innovation, focusing on combining hands-on
programs such as film, animation, graphic design, acting, and business
entrepreneurship with a Catholic liberal arts education in theology,
philosophy, and humanities. Launched in 2006 in the Scripps Ranch
community of San Diego, John Paul the Great Catholic University
relocated to a permanent campus in downtown Escondido in 2013 and has
been accredited with WSCUC since 2015. JPCatholic operates on a
year-round quarter system, with students earning a bachelor's degree in
just three years. Source - https://www.newswire.com/news/jpcatholic-announces-two-covid-response-scholarship-programs-for-fall-21156750
