Absolutely, there are in fact several scholarships specifically designed for Catholic high school seniors. Here are four you might find of interest:

1. The Catholic United Financial Post-High School Tuition Scholarship: This is open to members of the Catholic United Financial who are planning to enroll in an undergraduate program at an accredited institution. The scholarship offers multiple awards of $500 each.

2. The Italian Catholic Federation Scholarships: Open to Roman Catholic seniors of Italian Descent (at least 50%) who have a GPA of at least 3.2. The scholarship offers $400 and can be renewed for the recipient's second year of college if they maintain a 3.2 GPA.

3. The Maryknoll Scholarship: Students who write a 500-750 word essay on a selected theme can be awarded from $1,000 to $5,000.

4. Knights of Columbus Scholarships: The Knights offer a variety of scholarships, with differing qualifications related to members' service and/or academic achievement.

For where to apply, each scholarship typically has its own application process outlined on the webpage dedicated to that particular scholarship, so that’s where you’d submit an application. Remember: start by ensuring you're eligible and then pay close attention to the details of the application process to make sure you're complying with all requirements.

Don't forget to look for scholarships offered directly by the colleges you're applying to. Many institutions have scholarships aimed at applicants with specific religious affiliations.

Good luck in your scholarship search! Remember, every bit counts when reducing the cost of college.
