Mount St. Joseph University, led by President H. James Williams, Ph.D., has awarded full-ride scholarships to five outstanding high school students. These scholarships, named the Mount St. Joseph University Presidential Scholarship, cover tuition and fees for four years.

The 2024 scholarship recipients are Brayah Conley from Lawrence North High School and Kenya Diaz-Sagrero from Ben Davis High School, both in Indianapolis, IN. Other awardees include Ginger Johnson from Wolfe County High School in Campton, KY, Joseph Knizner from St. Xavier High School, and Dylan Searcy from Oak Hills High School, both in Cincinnati, OH.

The scholarships were awarded after a competitive selection process at the Mount’s Annual Presidential and Dean’s Scholarship Event, which saw participation from 124 students. Although all participants received a Dean’s Scholarship of $2000 annually, only five were selected for the Presidential Scholarship, influenced partly by their creative video presentations.

President Williams stated his pleasure in awarding the scholarships and highlighted the importance of such initiatives in attracting talented students to the university.
