Thanks to the generosity of faculty advisors Paul and Theresa Cronan, St. Thomas awards annual Cronan Scholarships to Catholic students at the University of Arkansas. The criteria for the award are 1) active involvement at St. Thomas, 2) financial need, and 3) academic merit. The scholarships range are disbursed each August to help offset academic costs such as tuition, fees, and books. Applications are distributed each February for the upcoming academic year.

"Hi, my name is Julia Loshelder and I am a sophomore from Flower Mound, TX, studying civil engineering. I’ve also recently completed my math minor. I have enjoyed being a part of the music ministry at St. Thomas this past year. Making music at Mass or Praise Unplugged is such a rewarding experience and it also provides a great break from studying."
