Each Spring, the Friends of Bishop McDevitt offers a limited number of 'Gold & White Grants' in the amount of $1000 for students who are attending a Catholic high school.  We have awarded $60,000 in grants over the past four years to our 'Legacy Students'. The number of grants awarded in the future is dependent on our fundraising efforts.  

To be considered for a Gold & White Grant the applicant must: 

1. be related to a graduate of Bishop McDevitt High School (son/daughter, grandchild, etc.) 

2. be an 8th grader who is accepted to a Catholic high school (private or diocesan) 

3. submit a 1-2 page doubled spaced essay that answers this prompt:  'Why do you feel that a Catholic education is important to you'?   - please remember to include #1 and #2 at the top of your essay.
