The Paul & Catherine Beltz Family Scholarship was established in 2004 by Paul & Catherine Beltz to strengthen St. Bonaventure's prelaw program by improving the academic quality of students enrolled in the program.
The scholarship is available to incoming freshman and transfer students who enroll in prelaw studies at the University. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit. It is renewable annually, for up to four years, as long as the recipient remains in the prelaw program and is making satisfactory progress towards a degree.
