Scholarships/Plaques
The Haggerty Math / Science Scholarships
Each year, one-year $2,600 tuition scholarships are awarded to selected students entering the sophomore class level the following fall. Funding for the scholarships has been provided by the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas Foundation.
To be considered for the Haggerty Math/Science scholarships, a freshman must have either a 95 average in current math and science courses or an 85 average in current honors math and science courses. Each candidate is then reviewed by the faculty of both academic departments and the administration of Jesuit to determine his achievements in mathematics and science. Also considered are his activities, leadership roles and community-service involvement.

Principal’s Magis Awards
The Magis, Latin for the more, implies that an individual or pursuit is driven for quality rather than quantity. This award recognizes the freshmen who have impressed their teachers with an outward desire to grow and learn. Whether through their engagement in class or through their submitted work, these students express the Magis in their class.

The Brother Gerald Landry, S.J. Award
Brother Gerald Landry, S.J. joined the Jesuits in 1960 and served as a member of Jesuit’s staff for over 18 years until his passing in December 2014. One of the many gifts he shared with our school was his love for photography. This award, in his name, honors a yearbook staff member who has served actively and passionately and whose creativity, initiative, and enthusiasm through photojournalism resulted in significant contributions to the organization and served as a model for future staff members.
For his significant contribution to Jesuit’s yearbook, The Last Roundup, the Brother Gerald Landry, S.J. Award is presented to:
Aldo Avila

Man for Others Award
Jesuit’s ‘Man for Others’ Award is given each year to students who exemplify, in their words and actions, what it means to be a Jesuit student. They have demonstrated in their dealings with others the ability to give of themselves selflessly. This award carries with it a $1,000 scholarship furnished by the Jesuit Women’s Auxiliary.
