The Catholic Social Thought Scholars Program is a three-year interdisciplinary learning experience which combines study of the Catholic Church's social teachings with a field placement in the community, culminating in a research project designed to address a particular social justice issue. Catholic Social Thought Scholars not only understand the Catholic social thought tradition, but they are able to use it to address the problems they will as they work for justice in their future careers as teachers, nurses, therapists, accountants, business executives—indeed, in every field of professional endeavor. Freshman and sophomores with a 3.2 GPA and a record of volunteer work are eligible to apply in the fall of each school year. CST Scholars receive a $1000 per semester scholarship after a candidacy semester, contingent upon maintaining GPA and a volunteer project. CST Scholars complete 12 credits and receive a Certificate in Catholic Studies.
