Can I receive a scholarship for Community Service?
Currently, the University offers two scholarships to students who have demonstrated outstanding service contributions in their community. The Xavier and Ignatian programs are extensive service and developmental scholarships that best reflect the University's mission of developing better "men and women for others." Each scholarship recipient completes 40 hours of service work a semester at a chosen site within the city. Scholarship participants also attend at least one service retreat each year and are afforded the opportunity to participate on a CLCS sponsored Spring break trip. To obtain more information regarding these scholarship programs contact the Saint Louis University admissions department.
