Personal Statement St. John’s University has played a pivotal role in my advancement as a Catholic Educator. Receiving the CSTS (Catholic School Teachers Scholarship) sponsored by the Institute for Catholic Schools, the allowed me to afford my second masters degree while pursuing my teaching career. I was given the opportunity to grow as an educator, a Catholic, and a leader. I feel very fortunate to have met really inspirational fellow educators who have provided me with endless opportunities, knowledge, connections, etc. As someone who is deeply committed to Catholic education I feel I couldn't have gotten the same opportunities at any other university. I am proud to be a two time alumni of St. John’s University and especially proud to be a member of the Institute for Catholic Schools’ Scholarship cohort!
