The Diocese of Davenport invites eligible students to apply for the Marguerite Ritzinger Scholarship through Feb. 27. Catholic students who plan to attend a college or university next fall may apply for a $1,000 scholarship. Nontraditional students may also apply for the scholarships.
Applications must include an essay, copy of a high school or college transcript and two reference letters. Submit all items with the application form, which is available on the diocesan website (https://www.davenportdiocese.org/finance-library).
The award’s namesake, the late Sigourney native Marguerite Ritzinger, left $388,770 to the diocese to help with scholarships for seminarians and students attending colleges or universities.
