Special Scholarships for CAS Students

College of Arts and Sciences students receiving the following special scholarships must be full-time students and maintain satisfactory academic progress each semester in order to remain eligible for the award.  A separate application for these scholarships is not required.

D.F. Antonelli, Jr., and Judith D. Antonelli Scholarship
This endowed scholarship fund was established in 1986 by Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Antonelli. Recipients must be full-time College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need and backgrounds considered culturally and/or economically disadvantaged. Preference will be given to members of minority groups.

Girl Scout Leadership Scholarships
Trinity has a close relationship with the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital and because of our strong network and similar mission to educate women and promote women’s accomplishments, we are proud to offer four levels of Girl Scout Awards.

If you have successfully completed your Gold Award in Girl Scouting and have been accepted into the University of Arts & Sciences, you will receive an award of $5,000 annually.

If you have successfully completed your Silver Award in Girl Scouting and have been accepted into the University of Arts & Sciences, you will receive an award of $4,000 annually.

If you are an active participant in Girl Scouting and have been accepted into the University of Arts & Sciences, you will receive an award of $3,000 annually.

These awards may not be combined and will be factored in to your overall merit-based award from Trinity.

Helen and Marie F. Rotterman, Class of 1904, Scholarship Trust
This trust was established by the estate of Marie F. Rotterman, Class of 1904, to provide scholarships to qualified Catholic girls from the Dayton, Ohio, metropolitan area. Awards are made yearly in amounts depending on need and available funds. A personal interview and approval of the Trustees of the trust are also required.

Endowed and Term Scholarships for CAS Students

The following special scholarships are named either for their donor or in recognition of others and are made possible by the generosity and support of alumnae and friends of Trinity. These scholarship awards are given to Trinity College of Arts and Sciences students who demonstrate financial need and who also meet the additional selection criteria specified by the donor of the gift. Endowed scholarships are funded by the ongoing income earned from the core gift; term scholarships are one-time gifts. The Office of Student Financial Services chooses recipients from among all qualified applicants for financial aid.

These special gifts underwrite in whole or in part scholarship and grant awards from Trinity sources. The receipt of one of these awards is recognition not only of financial need but also academic distinction. So as to recognize as many qualified students as possible, these awards are usually not renewed from year to year.

A separate application for these scholarships is not required; all full-time College of Arts and Sciences applicants for financial assistance are automatically considered for these awards.
