The Knights of Columbus awards annually the Bishop Charles P. Greco Graduate Fellowships for full time graduate study leading to a Master's degree in a program designed for the preparation of classroom teachers of people with intellectual disabilities.
• To be eligible, an applicant must be a member in good standing of the Knights of Columbus or the wife, son or daughter of such a member or deceased member.
• Special consideration will be given to applicants attending a Catholic graduate school.
These fellowships are for full time graduate study leading to a Master's degree in a program designed for the preparation of classroom teachers of people with intellectual disabilities.
An official transcript of the applicant's undergraduate academic record is to be sent to the Committee on Fellowships through the Department of Scholarships at the Supreme Council office.
An autobiographical statement which gives evidence of interest in this program as shown by an account of experiences, paid or voluntary, with people with intellectual disabilities must accompany this application. This statement should also give reasons for the selection of the graduate school named in this application.
Two recommendations from professional people who have observed the applicant's work with people with intellectual disabilities are to be sent to the Committee on Fellowships.
The grant will be sent directly to the university. A certified copy of acceptance as a full time student by a graduate school approved to prepare classroom teachers of people with intellectual disabilities must be received by the Committee on Fellowships before payment will be made.
The decision of the Committee on Fellowships shall be final.
The fellowship is granted at the beginning of a candidate's program of study and offers financial assistance for the educational costs at the graduate school up to a maximum of $500 a semester. The grant is renewable each succeeding semester of the program to a maximum of four semesters, upon evidence of satisfactory performance and subject to the discretion of the Committee on Fellowships.
