Academic scholarships and grants are awarded to an incoming student based on her outstanding academic performance and personal achievements.  Consideration for these awards is given to students who have an A average throughout middle school and have demonstrated high achievement on the TACHS exam.  Eligible students must place Cathedral as their 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice in order to be considered for an academic scholarship or grant.
