The Christian Brothers’ Scholarship, which covers tuition for up to four years of undergraduate study, is La Salle’s most prestigious scholarship. La Salle awards it to applicants who have extensive community service backgrounds and a demonstrated interest in future service. The emphasis on community service follows in the tradition the Christian Brothers established more than 300 years ago.

The comprehensive review of each applicant particularly emphasizes the GPA, curriculum strength, and leadership inside and outside the classroom. Recipients of Christian Brothers’ Scholarships typically rank in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and have a GPA of 4.0 over their first three years of high school.
