JESUS THE KING OFFERS STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
In order to encourage and provide financial assistance to Ontario Melkite Catholic students entering post-secondary studies, Jesus the King Council 15045 for the second year announced in all its Ontario parishes a total of three scholarship awards of $1,000.00 each to be granted. The Scholarship Awards were based on scholastic achievement, community service, financial needs and personal hardship situation.
The qualifications required to apply, is that the student must be entering postsecondary School and must be a Melkite Catholic living anywhere in Ontario. The Student applicants were required to complete an application by end of June 2025.
A three-member selection committee made up of Jesus the King pastor, Jesus the King Knights of Columbus Grand Knight, and Jesus the King Knights of Columbus scholarship program co-ordinator. The names of the winning students were announced and cheques $1000 each issued directly to the educational institute of the student which were presented at the end of August by Reverend Fadi Rizk in the West Melkite Catholic Mission, Rev Gerard Abi Saab in Saint Simeon Stylites Melkite Catholic Church, Windsor, and Rev Gregory Schmidt the pastor of Our Lady of the Scapular Church in Niagara Falls.
