St. Thomas University recently announced the award of nine (9) full tuition scholarships to students from Catholic High Schools in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County. The new “Catholic Education Continuum Scholarships,” to be awarded annually to one student from each Catholic High school in the tri-county area, cover the complete annual tuition for up to four consecutive years of full-time study.
