Scholarship Description

As a Catholic, Jesuit university located in an urban environment, Marquette University is committed to educating talented students from its surrounding community. Inspired by this commitment, the university proudly sponsors the Urban Scholars Program, which provides up to 45 full-tuition scholarships to high school seniors from the Milwaukee area. The Urban Scholars Program seeks but is not limited to first-generation college students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who show great academic promise and commitment to enhancing their community through intentional action and involvement.

The award is renewable each year of the recipient’s four-year (eight-semester) undergraduate program, provided that the student remains in good academic standing and files the FAFSA or Net Price Calculator annually. A number of housing scholarships will be offered when available; for students who do not receive a housing scholarship, if eligible, the Federal Pell Grant may be applied to room and board. For additional program details about this award, review the applicable Award Information Guide, available from the Office of Student Financial Aid.
