I have already applied to Penn State Main Campus, Penn State Altoona, University of Scranton, LaSalle, Temple and Widener. I've also heard about many scholarships that can help me.

I choose to come to Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti because I knew I could get a great education here. I know that my Catholic education will help me to get a successful job, raise a family of my own, and will help me to achieve all of the goals I set out for. During these last 3 years at Neumann-Goretti, I learned that we are not only a school, we are also a family! |
