Knights of Columbus - Texas Council

The Texas State Council will award at least one $1,000 Student Educational Grant per diocese and two more $1,000 At-Large Student Educational Grants. The total number of grants for each Diocese will be determined using a formula based on the number of Regular Members, on July 1, 2022, in each Diocese (see below). The Bishop determines school grants. Unfortunately, we have not received Educational Grant applications from every Diocese.

Who Is Eligible for the Individual Student Educational Grant?

An applicant must be a Knight of Columbus member in good standing of a Council located in Texas, his wife, son, or daughter. A granddaughter or grandson of a member in good standing in a Council in Texas may apply if their father is not a Knight or in good standing. Descendants of deceased members or grandfathers in good standing are also eligible. Any graduating senior of a Catholic High School in Texas is eligible when sponsored by a local Council in Texas – even when the student's parent or grandparent is not a Knight.

The educational Grant money will be used for education in a University, College, Junior College, Technical School, Business School, or Seminary.

The application must be completed and received on time (midnight March 1, 2023). If you earn Star Council, an educational grant application meets a requirement for the Texas Lone Star Award for Excellence.

The sponsoring Council's Supreme and State per capita must be paid in full, and the Council may not be suspended by the Supreme Council.

Guidelines for the PDF fillable Educational Grant Application are found in the application attached below with specific instructions. Please contact Giacomo Leone if you have any questions at 512-983-7576 or giacleone575@gmail.com.

All completed applications need to be sent to Giacomo Leone.
