Scholarships for Valley Catholic Students


The SSMO Legacy Scholarship

The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon began their ministry in education more than 130 years ago – enriching the lives of thousands of students by this ministry.

The SSMO Legacy Scholarship recognizes the Sisters who are serving and those who have served in the ministry of education on the SSMO campus throughout their rich history.

SSMO Legacy Scholarships are awarded to current elementary, middle, and high school Valley Catholic students.

To qualify for consideration, the applicant must:

  • Be a current Valley Catholic student who has completed at least one year at VCS
  • Have a clear financial need that can be lightened by this scholarship
  • Confirm academic achievement
  • Receive confirmation of their contribution to the VCS community by their Principal or Vice Principal

Middle and high school students must submit an essay with their application that describes how the SSMO Core Values affect their lives:

  • Live valiantly
  • Strive for excellence
  • Honor the unique gifts of each person
  • Celebrate God and Life

Scholarship applications are available in each Valley Catholic School office.

The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon and Valley Catholic School recognize these Sisters for their contributions to the more than 130-year ministry of faith-based education on the Sisters’ campus.
