ABOUT THE  SCHOLARSHIP 

The Avalon School is proud to present its Virtue in Action Scholarship. Avalon is pleased to be able to invest significant financial resources in up to twenty, four-year, half-tuition scholarships for high school students. Our aim is to help form more young men of virtue in the Archdiocese of Washington through a partnership between parents, pastors, and The Avalon School.
Monsignor Thomas Wells heroically put virtue into action by inviting young men to deepen their faith, through teaching and leading them towards a relationship with Christ in the Eucharist. Many of those men continue to live lives of faith in our archdiocese as husbands, fathers, and priests.
