Two Queen of Angels' students win Neumann Scholarships

Mrs. Meghan Corr from the Connelly Foundation visited Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School Friday, November 9th to award a Neumann Scholarship each to eighth graders, Oscar Nama and Daniel Romano. This prestigious scholarship provides a full four year tuition scholarship to a student to attend any Archdiocesan high school of their choice. To be considered for this scholarship a student must meet rigorous academic criteria to be able to sit for the test and then perform exceptionally well on the scholarship exam. This marks Queen of Angels’ sixth Neumann Scholar in five years. We are thrilled for Oscar and Daniel and extremely grateful to the Connelly Foundation for their belief and support of Catholic education. Queen of Angels is the regional Catholic school serving PreK3-8th grade students residing in the Parishes of St David, Willow Grove, Our Lady Help of Christians, Abington and St. John Bosco, Hatboro. We are located at 401 N. Easton Road, Willow Grove, PA. Our principal is Sister Margaret Rose Adams, IHM. Please visit our website at www.qoaschool.org. For more information, please contact our school at 215-659-6393. Please see below for further information about this wonderful scholarship program.
