OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY
FATHER BOWES SCHOLARSHIP
APPLICATION
Purpose:
This scholarship was established in memory of Father Charlie Bowes who served as Pastor at OLR from 1998 until his death in 2008. The scholarship is in recognition of the high esteem he held for Catholic education. OLR values student parishioners who lead through their commitments to academic excellence and community service. The scholarship recognizes this. The scholarship is maintained through donations. This scholarship is awarded yearly until further notice with applicants considered each year based on that year’s applications. Past winners may re-apply.
This scholarship is intended to aid OLR families with expenses sending their children to John Paul II Catholic School. We would like to recognize these extraordinary students and their service achievements though the Father Bowes Scholarship. The amount of this award is $1,000.
Eligibility:
All students from OLR in the 6th, 7th, and/or 8th grade at John Paul II Catholic School are encouraged to apply.

- Be of good character and a solid member of the parish and the community-at-large.

Applying for the Award:
Students must complete the application form and short answer questions. Provide concrete examples from your experiences that demonstrate your commitment to serve as a volunteer in the parish and/or in the community. If necessary, the finalists for the award may need to sign a release to verify academic records.
Administration of the Award:
The Father Bowes Scholarship will be administered through the OLR Finance Committee under the supervision of the OLR Pastor and Parish Council. A selection committee with representation from Finance Committee, Parish Council, and the Faith Formation Committee will review all applications submitted by the deadline.
