Eighty high school students from across the U.S.—all top scholars—wrote essays, prepared a portfolio, and submitted a video for the 15th annual Father Michael Scanlan, TOR, Scholarship Competition.

This year’s winners are Andrew Lyons, a resident of Gaffney, South Carolina, who attends St. Joseph Catholic High School, and Nathan Ware, a resident of Westerville, Ohio, who attends Westerville South High School.

Lyons is actively involved in a variety of sports and is captain of his school’s varsity football team. He plans to study biology on a pre-medicine track. Ware, a cross country and track runner and French horn player, plans to enter the Honors Program and is interested in studying theology, philosophy, or business.

Each student will receive a four-year full-tuition academic scholarship for their undergraduate studies at ̽������.

The scholarship is named in honor of Father Scanlan, who served as president of ̽������ for 26 years and was instrumental in revitalizing the Catholic identity of the school.
