Three CSF Scholars Earn Prestigious National Scholarships

At CSF, we believe in the power of education to transform lives and this year, three of our exceptional senior scholars have proven just that by earning nationally recognized scholarships that will support their journeys to college and beyond.

We are thrilled to announce that Lydsay Dallaire and Dylan Kabaria, both seniors at Central Catholic High School, have been awarded the Posse Foundation Scholarship, a competitive full-tuition leadership scholarship awarded to students with extraordinary academic potential and leadership ability.

Lydsay will be heading to Centre College in Kentucky this fall, where we know she’ll continue to grow as a thoughtful leader and scholar. Dylan will join Rutgers University in the fall, his older sister Colleen Kabaria, a CSF alumna and former Posse Scholar herself. Their shared commitment to excellence and service is a powerful reminder of the impact one family and one scholarship can have across generations.

We’re equally proud to celebrate Merriany Brioso De Jesus, a senior at Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School, who has been named a QuestBridge Scholar. The QuestBridge National College Match is a highly competitive program that connects outstanding students from low-income backgrounds with full scholarships to the nation’s top colleges. Merriany will be attending Boston University in the fall, where she’ll bring her academic strength, compassion, and drive to a new stage.

These three remarkable students have earned not only full-tuition scholarships but also lifelong networks of mentorship, opportunity, and support. Their accomplishments reflect years of hard work, perseverance, and the unwavering support of their families, schools, and CSF community.

To Lydsay, Dylan, and Merriany congratulations! You inspire us all, and we can’t wait to see the incredible things you will do next.
