Corpus Christi University Parish

Christian Leadership Program

Twelve $5,000 Scholarships for UT Freshmen

Program

The Christian Leadership Program (CLP) is a four-year program that includes theological and spiritual formation and demands a serious commitment in order to fulfill the specific requirements. CLP was founded by Rev. James J. Bacik and has been recognized by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for excellence in developing leaders for the future.

Sponsor

Corpus Christi University Parish (CCUP), the Catholic community serving the University of Toledo (UT) sponsors the program.

Scholarship

CLP participants receive $1,000 their first year ($100 deducted for text books), and for those who wish to continue and meet the program requirements, $1,000 for the second and third years, and $2,000 for the fourth year. The money is distributed through the UT Office of Student Financial Aid, and is available even if a student already has other scholarships. Scholarship money is given at the end of the semester after all required work is completed. No money is given for co-op semesters away from campus or for fifth year students.

Purpose

CLP exists to prepare leaders for the church and society who are theologically grounded, spiritually motivated, and religiously committed to their Catholic tradition. Graduates of this program should be well-prepared to serve on parish councils, teach CCD, participate in liturgy committees and lead social justice efforts. In addition they should be able to bring Christian principles to their families and jobs.
