PJP JUNIORS SELECTED FOR CABRINI UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

The Maguire Foundation recently honored 658 high school students who were named as  High School Maguire Scholars at St. Joseph's University; 24 of these scholars are PJP students. For a complete list of PJP Maguire Scholars, visit www.pjphs.org.   The honor comes with a four-year-partial-based scholarship to private and parochial high schools across the Philadelphia region, including the 17 high schools of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.  For more information about the Maguire Foundation, please visit:  www.maguirefoundation.org. PJP is proud of all of our scholars, and we look forward to selecting the Class of 2021 Maguire Scholars.

The academic scholarship awards are currently being considered for the PJP Class of 2021.  Students who received a 90 to a 99 (National Percentile Score) on the PJP Scholarship Test were recently contacted by PJP's Admissions Office to schedule an academic scholarship interview with the PJP Scholarship Committee in December.  The scores from PJP's Eighth Grade Scholarship Test have been most impressive, and we look forward to meeting with the Academic Scholars from the Class of 2021.  PJP's academic scholarship awards will be announced before Christmas.
