Building Access to Education
Now, more than ever, the world need the type of graduates Franciscan University sends forth. But to continue attracting smart, capable, faithful young people to the University, the quality of formation we provide must be matched by the quantity of scholarship aid we give to our students.
As we learned from the amazing response to Step in Faith, the University's COVID-19 financial aid initiative, which provided 100 percent tuition coverage for new students for the fall 2020 semester, many students gladly make the decision for Franciscan if finances aren't an obstacle.
Accordingly, this campaign seeks to raise $18 million in scholarship and financial aid for current and future Franciscan University students.

That is ultimately why I joined the military - to protect and defend America and our freedoms...
