Monsignor Slade Catholic School is pleased to announce that Kara Mehta, a fourth grade student, has been named a 2020 Knott Scholar.  Academically talented Catholic students who wish to continue their education in an Archdiocese of Baltimore Catholic school can apply for four-year, full-tuition scholarships awarded by the Knott Scholarship Fund.  Applicants must meet strict criteria which includes scores in the 94th percentile or above in Total Reading, Language, and Total Mathematics on a nationally standardized test and must receive an A or A+ in all major subjects.  Kara was selected from hundreds of applicants including her own classmates, statewide.

Kara is one of seven elementary school students chosen from applicants at 45 schools.  She will continue her education at Monsignor Slade over the next four years due to Mr. Knott’s generosity. These scholarships, funded by the Marion Burk Knott Scholarship Fund and the Marion I. and Henry J.
