Bishop John C. Reiss Religious Education Scholarship Fund

One of the legacies that Bishop Reiss left the Diocese of Trenton is a strong commitment to ongoing catechetical formation. This is made more tangible in the Bishop John C. Reiss Religious Education Scholarship Fund. Funds are available to cover tuition costs for continuing education in religion or theology for those who teach the Catholic faith in our parishes and schools. The scholarship may be applied to a course, conference or seminar through any accredited Catholic college or university, in-person or on-line.

Applications for scholarship awards from the Bishop John C. Reiss Religious Education Scholarship Fund are now available, upon request, from the Department of Catechesis.  The criteria for eligibility is listed here.

Please note:  All completed application forms are to be returned to the Department of Catechesis by April 15, 2024. 

Awards will be announced in the Spring following review of the applications by the Bishop John C. Reiss Scholarship Board.
