Class of 2030 Academic Scholarship Recipients
Congratulations to freshmen excelling on their Placement Exam last December. These exceptional students earned Academic Scholarships!
Montini Catholic is proudly recognizing nineteen (19) outstanding freshmen from their Class of 2030. The students are recipients of the Lasallian college preparatory high school's Freshman Placement Exam Scholarships - offered to incoming freshmen excelling on Montini's Freshman Placement Exam (offered every December).
Scholarships are awarded based on national percentile ranking of the placement exam scores:
• Students scoring between the 95th to 99th percentiles receive a $2,500 scholarship.
• Students scoring between the 90th to 94th percentiles receive a $1,500 scholarship.
• Students scoring between the 85th to 89th percentiles receive a $1,000 scholarship.
Mrs. Goworowski, who visited grade schools this past spring to announce the awards, explained that all scholarships are renewable as long as a student meets the criteria each year. "Students can earn up to $10,000 towards their tuition which can go a long way in making a Lasallian college preparatory education more affordable for families." Prospective students (currently 8th grade students) are encouraged to take the Placement Exam at Montini Catholic on Saturday, December 5, 2026 in order to be eligible for these and other scholarship opportunities.
