Montini Catholic proudly recognizes the first ten members of its Class of 2024's $100,000 Scholarship Club. The club includes students who have received $100,000+ in academic scholarship offers during their quests for college offers. Several of these seniors have earned way above $100,000 in offers with amounts growing daily! So far, Montini Catholic seniors have accumulated over $5,000,000 in academic scholarship offers. The number of members and the total of offers is expected to grow as the school year progresses.
