Last year’s scholarship winner, Dominic Kalpakgian, received a $5,000 scholarship towards his first year at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio. The University has agreed to another $15,000 in scholarships over the next three years if he continues to meet the University’s requirements.

“The Newman Guide proved invaluable in my college discernment process,” said Kalpakgian. “With so many Catholic colleges compromising their mission, The Newman Guide served as a trusted resource to identify schools committed to forming students intellectually and spiritually in line with Church teachings. Moreover, the guide’s endorsement carried significant weight with my parents, who trusted the Newman Guide schools to uphold the values and principles they had instilled in me.”
