These scholarships include tuition, room and board, books, lab fees and other incidental expenses at the Catholic college of the student's choice. Two additional scholarships are available to Columbian Squires , one at the Catholic University, and one at the college of the Squire's choice. Similar benefits are available in Mexico and the Philippines. The Supreme Council also has set up postgraduate fellowships at the Catholic University of America. The fellowships are open to lay men and women, both married and unmarried, and cover board, lodging and tuition.
Maximum tenure is four years, with a course in American history a requisite.
In 1973 the Supreme Council established the Bishop Charles P. Greco graduate fellowships for specialization in the field of teaching the mentally retarded. An eligible candidate must be a member of the Order or the son or daughter of a member in good standing. The candidate also must be engaged in or planning a full-time graduate study leading to a master's degree in the field of teaching the educationally handicapped with emphasis on the mentally retarded. Earnings from the fund will support research projects of vital importance to the U.S. and Canada through the auspices of the National Catholic Educational Association with the approval of the board of directors. These programs at the Supreme Council level combine with other projects on the state and local level to total a multimillion-dollar orderwide commitment to students.
