Bishop's Scholarship to Briar Cliff University

Congratulations to:

• Aden Ford of Bradgate, a student at Pocahontas Area High School and parishioner at Resurrection of Our Lord Parish in Pocahontas
• Olivia Budden of Alton, a student at Gehlen Catholic High School and parishioner at St. Anthony Parish in Hospers
• Lizbeth Garcia Ramirez of Sioux City, a student at Bishop Heelan High School and parishioner at Cathedral of the Epiphany Parish

All three students will be attending Briar Cliff University this fall.

Bishop Nickless celebrated Briar Cliff’s Baccalaureate Mass on Friday, May 7th and attended graduation the following day, when 2017 scholarship recipients Katie Logan and Tiffany Braun received their diplomas.  Valeria Magana, also a 2017 scholar, graduated a year early with a BSN and is now finishing up her first year in Briar Cliff’s nurse practitioner program.

Please keep these young people—and all the Bishop’s scholars—in your prayers.  Current recipients include Tamas Witt from Lawton, Carli Sibbel from Manning, Megan Loutsch from Remsen, Payton Slaughter from Cherokee, Haley Koob from Sioux City, Amanda Grell from Danbury, Kailee Tucker from Akron, Spencer Schorg from Remsen and Madison Meister from Burt.  

The scholarship application will be available Fall 2021 for school year 2022.
