Kathy Davis Memorial Scholarship

The Kathy Davis Memorial Scholarship Program is offered by Nativity Catholic Church to promote and support Catholic elementary education opportunities. The scholarship program is funded through donations to the Kathy Davis Memorial Fund, which is administered by Nativity Catholic Church. An award of a one-year full tuition to attend Nativity Catholic School, will be given to one student.

Applicants must be currently enrolled at Nativity Catholic School at the time of application. The scholarship is open to rising 4th – 8th grade students.

A Scholarship Selection Committee with representation from the parish and school administration will review all entries and select one student to receive the award. Emphasis will be placed on need, the student and parent essays, and school performance. Scholarship assistance is awarded without regard to race, color, gender, national origin or creed.

This scholarship program is named for Kathy Davis who was a longtime parishioner. Mrs. Davis was devoted to sharing the gifts that God had graced upon her and her family through her tireless work with community service projects. She helped to better the lives of Nativity Parish’s underprivileged and many others in her native country of Ireland.  In honor of her legacy, the recipient of this scholarship must participate in twenty hours of community service specifically described in the essay during the school year. The recipient and his or her family will have the services of a volunteer mentor appointed by Nativity Church to assist with planning and completing the community service project.
