Each Spring, the Friends of Bishop McDevitt offer a limited number of 'Gold & White Grants' in the amount of $1000 for 8th grade students who will be attending a Catholic high school.  We have awarded $60,000 in grants over the past four years to our 'Legacy Students'. 

Here are the requirements for a 2026 Gold & White Grant:

1.  the applicant must be related to a Bishop McDevitt graduate

2.  the applicant must be accepted to a Catholic High School in the Philadelphia area (archdiocesan or private) 

3.  the applicant must submit a 1-2 page double spaced essay that clearly states their name, grade school, requirements 1-2, but more importantly why they feel a Catholic education is important.  No AI submissions please.
