Hugh R. Boyd Legacy Scholarship
This scholarship is created in loving memory of Hugh R. Boyd, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother. Hugh traveled to over 25 different countries and loved to spend time with his family and friends as often as possible. He was always willing to help others or go on a new adventure in his travels around the world. He is remembered and missed by his beloved family and friends around the globe.
Hugh had a long career in marketing and finance, and knew the importance of education. This scholarship aims to honor the life of Hugh R. Boyd by supporting students who need financial assistance in order to pursue their career goals. We created this scholarship to help one student in marketing or finance pay towards their education and advancement.
Any Catholic undergraduate student who is pursuing a marketing or finance degree and maintains at least a 2.75 GPA may apply for this opportunity if they have financial need and are a U.S. citizen.
To apply, create a one or two minute video submission explaining why you picked your degree path and your passion in life. Submit a link to your video as a public YouTube link or a Google Drive link. Settings should be sent to "public" or “anyone with this link can view”. If we can’t access your video, your application won’t be considered.
