Rev. Carl J. Fives Scholarships

The Rev. Carl J. Fives Scholarship was established by the National Alumni Association and in memory of longtime Alumni Chaplain Rev. Carl J. Fives, C’38, S’42, H’99. The scholarship is awarded to rising seniors in the university and two fourth-year seminarians based on academic excellence, financial need and service to the Mount community.

Note: One of the six scholarships is awarded to a Mount legacy student. This year seven scholarships were awarded, as a full scholarship was split between two students who graduated early.

I am thankful to receive the Father Fives Scholarship. I am very appreciative for any financial assistance—as I’m paying for college on my own. I am also honored to represent this scholarship for the Mount. Attending the Mount has been such a great experience. The people I’ve met have become lifelong friends; everyone is so personable and willing to help you chase your dream. It means a lot to know I have a support system. I’m so grateful for my Mount experience!

I am honored to receive the Father Fives Scholarship. It shows the faith people have in me and the work I will continue to do. One day I hope to replenish this foundation to help future Mount students.

The Mount has become a second home to me. I have been given the opportunity to become a resident assistant and was offered a full-time position at CohnReznick through the Career Center. I met great faculty and friends who helped form the person I have become. Go Mount!

Receiving this award means so much to me because it means that my voice was heard at the Mount and that people know who I am and have faith in me. All my experiences at the Mount have been more than tremendous! The Mount has given me so many opportunities for self-growth and growth in my education. I could not thank the community enough for what they have done for me thus far!

Being awarded the Father Carl Fives Scholarship means a great deal as it financially aides me in completing my college career. As I reflect on my time at the Mount, I am easily reminded of the great experiences and skills I have gained here. The supportive and close-knit community has helped me grow as an individual and in my faith. This scholarship and the various other opportunities I have sought have been made possible through the encouragement of my family, peers and Mount faculty.

It is an honor to be one of this year’s recipients of the Reverend Carl J. Fives Scholarship. My experience at the Mount has been life changing and given me endless opportunities and lifelong friendships. The Mount is more than just a school; it is also a place for people to come to find themselves, connect with others, grow and learn in numerous ways. I have had the incredible privilege of being a Division I athlete, joining various clubs, receiving work study, attending CRUX and AMP trips and studying abroad. The Mount means more to me than I could put into words. I am extremely grateful. *Mount legacy recipient

I feel honored that the Mount chose to recognize me with this award. I've worked hard over the past three years, and this scholarship showed me that all of that hard work is paying off. The Mount has truly been a second home to me. It has allowed me to reach new academic heights through the Honors Program and has broadened my horizons with my study abroad experience in Prague. The Mount has allowed me to become a better version of myself.

I am immensely grateful to the National Alumni Association for awarding me the Rev. Carl J. Fives Scholarship. Over the past few years as a member of the Mount community, there have been various instances that have helped reinforce my love for this university. Receiving this scholarship is one of them. The rigor of the curriculum and the support of the faculty have always inspired me to seek opportunities, such as this, that not only acknowledge my academic merits but also encourage them.
