Members are eligible to receive grants to the Catholic school of their choice to defray the cost of their education. Only one entry per member will be accepted. Students may reapply for each year of school. Grant program recipients are chosen by lottery. The drawing is independent of the Home Office. Recipients of a Catholic school grant are not disqualified from participation in other National Catholic Society of Foresters scholarship programs.

Applicants must maintain a permanent form of insurance, annuity or a minimum of $10,000 term insurance exclusive of certificates on extended term insurance or reduced paid-up insurance; such certificates must be free from any indebtedness to the Society. Certificates must be dated two years before the grant entry/application deadline.
