Merrimack, N.H., Mar 20, 2013 \/ 02:03 am (CNA<\/a>).- New Hampshire's Thomas More College of Liberal Arts has announced a new scholarship for students from the Americas after the unprecedented election of Pope Francis, the first New World pontiff.<\/p>\n

\tThe Our Lady of Guadalupe Scholarship Fund will award up to 20 scholarships per year for applicants from Canada, Mexico and Central and South America. The scholarship can cover either partial tuition or full four-year tuition.<\/p>\n

\tThomas More College President William Fahey said March 14 that the selection of the Argentine Pope Francis as the first New World Pope is an honor to the New World and \u201ca call for Catholics in the New World to find new forms of solidarity and new means for supporting the Church\u2019s mission in all our lands.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tAja Cowhig, the college\u2019s admissions director, said that the March 13 election of Pope Francis was a \u201chistoric\u201d day for the college. The college campus canceled its classes when the conclave\u2019s white smoke was announced.<\/p>\n

\tStudents prayed in the chapel for the next Pope and then rushed to the library to watch the coverage of Pope Francis\u2019 entrance onto the balcony overlooking St. Peter\u2019s Square. They cheered him with shouts of \u201cViva il Papa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe prayerfully hope that the witness of Pope Francis be an example and inspiration for the college\u2019s mission to rejoice in the pursuit of truth,\u201d Cowhig told CNA March 18.<\/p>\n

\tThe college focuses on having a strong Catholic identity. Its curriculum is based on a special \u201cgreat books\u201d program. There is one curriculum for all students. Classes are not divided into specialties or departments.<\/p>\n

\tThe curriculum aims to refine the experiences and mental powers of both students and faculty through reading great works from classical and Christian civilization. Thomas More College has also established a series of guilds where master craftsmen teach students woodworking, sacred art, sacred music, folk music and horseback riding.<\/p>\n

\tThe school anticipates that the Our Lady of Guadalupe Scholarship will help increase its numbers of international students.<\/p>\n
