The Bernard C. Harris Memorial Scholarship is a great way to help a worthy student, and to earn a matching $1,000 gift for your school. This scholarship is administered through the Guidance Departments of accredited Catholic High Schools across the country. Schools may accept as many applications as they can, however, only one application will be accepted by Harris Connect. Therefore, Guidance Departments must review all entries and nominate only one student to represent the school. If multiple entries are received, all entries will be returned. Entries will only be accepted from the Guidance Departments. Interested students should go through their Guidance Departments if they would like to be considered.
