What about Saint judes?
Wasn’t St. Jude’s an elementary school? I assume if someone went there and is still attending high school in the area they could apply. Here’s the contact info from the article to ask the organizers.

All Watertown students are eligible so that those that live in St. Jude’s Parish are eligible. The original scholarship was tied to St. Mary’s High School. When the high school closed it included those in St. Mary’s Parish. In recent times, with the formation of collaboratives, those boundaries have expanded. We have had applications from students from St. Jude’s Parish.
