The Josephine C. Connelly Achievement Awards, an initiative developed and funded by the Connelly Foundation, were presented on May 17th at Archbishop Ryan High School and on May 19th at West Philadelphia Catholic High School, both in Philadelphia. This year, 138 eighth-grade students received the award.

The Josephine C. Connelly Achievement Awards are presented each year to eighth grade students who strive to achieve their fullest academic potential. Each recipient receives a yearly $1,125 tuition credit for each of the four years the student attends an Archdiocesan or Mercy Vocational High School. Every parochial elementary school in Philadelphia county is invited to participate. The number of recipients is determined by enrollment, and preference is given to students who demonstrate financial need.
