Urban Scholars Program
As an urban university, Marquette is committed to educating talented students from its surrounding urban community and similar urban areas across the country. Inspired by this commitment, the university proudly announces the new Urban Scholars Program, providing 10 full-tuition awards to students from Milwaukee-area high schools and Cristo Rey High School in Chicago. These awards will go to students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who show great academic promise. The first awards will be presented to students entering as freshmen in Fall 2007.
Three of the Urban Scholars awards will be designated to graduates of Cristo Rey High School in Chicago. Two awards will be designated for students who are members of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee. Five awards will be reserved for students from Milwaukee-area high schools, with special consideration for students who graduated from Nativity Middle School, Notre Dame Middle School, or who participate in the College Readiness 21 Program.
The Urban Scholars Program award guarantees that a student’s federal, state and Marquette gift assistance cover all the tuition costs for each year of the recipient’s four-year undergraduate program, provided that a 2.0 grade point average is maintained. The award is based on academic merit and demonstrated financial need.
