NDA Students Receive Monsignor Jerome E. Schmit Youth
Foundation Scholarship
Special to The Truth
Notre Dame Academy sophomores Maria Horn and Megan Del
Vecchio each received the Monsignor Jerome E. Schmit Youth
Foundation Scholarship. The dinner to celebrate and
introduce the winners featured guest speaker Bishop Daniel
Thomas.
“Catholic education has helped me recognize social justice
issues and encouraged me to volunteer with kids who have
disabilities and the elderly,” Maria said. “By having
spiritual studies alongside regular academic courses I get
to experience things that would not be possible in other
education systems.”
“Not only are my classmates and I able to talk about our
faith, we are able to support one another on our spiritual
journeys,” Megan wrote in her essay.
The Youth Foundation was established in 1991 to perpetuate
the work of Monsignor Jerome E. Schmit who worked with the
young people of the Toledo diocese. Through the Monsignor
Jerome E. Schmit Youth Foundation, scholarships are
presented to eligible Metro-Toledo Catholic High School
students who demonstrate financial need, as well as keeping
a solid grade point average.
