The 2026 Philadelphia Catholic Scholars Program will take place between Monday morning, July 6, 2026 and Friday afternoon, July 17, 2026.
All young men in high school—incoming juniors through graduating seniors—are eligible to participate in the Philadelphia Catholic Scholars Program and encouraged to apply. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older at the start of the program. The cost of tuition is $975 which includes all materials, housing, meals, and cultural excursions. A $150 application fee (which counts toward the cost of tuition) is due at the time of acceptance. Due to the generosity of a donor, scholarships are available, and all are encouraged to apply!

A letter of recommendation is required of all applicants. This letter may come from your principal, guidance counselor, or one of your core curriculum teachers (i.e., English, Math, Science, or Theology). Please provide the contact information for this individual in the application below (name, position, and email address). Our office will then contact him/her with the criteria for the letter of recommendation. Please obtain approval from the teacher whom you are asking before providing us with their contact information.
