Bishop Peter Baldacchino is pleased to announce that each of the Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Las Cruces will receive a $30,000 block grant from the 2021 United in Ministry (UIM) Campaign to be used for scholarships. UIM is the annual appeal from the diocese of Las Cruces, which aids in the formation of future priests, religious education of our youth, marriage preparation programs, catholic charities, and the ministry of the Bishop.
The schools will have the discretion on how to allocate the funds, and it is encouraged for the funds to be used for Catholic students who receive a "matching" scholarship of $250.00 per semester from their parish.
Scholarship requests should be made directly to schools.
