In August of 1971, the Constantin J Stanitz family of Chicago established a Scholarship Fund in memory of their son, William Robert Stanitz, who met a premature tragic death in California. To qualify for the scholarship, one must be an active member of their church community - partaking in services, showing themselves to be a leader and an example among peers in their parish's young religious community; be a graduate of high school; be a college student or one who intends to enroll in a school or college of university level; and not be a previous Stanitz Scholarship recipient. A biographical history, including your family; educational background and grades; and a letter of recommendation from parish priest or AROY advisors regarding parish and AROY activities must be submitted.
