Marianist Leadership Scholars
Marianist Leadership Scholars Program
A passion for service.
Behaviors that reveal a sense of global community.
The courage and commitment to support and challenge society’s values.
These characteristics are central to our Catholic, Marianist identity.
The Marianist Leadership Scholars Program (MLS) is available to students from any of the Marianist schools. Students from non-Marianist Schools who attended the Marianist LIFE South, Central, or Pacific programs, as well as students from international Marianist schools may also apply.
Members of the Marianist Leadership Scholars Program are challenged and supported to connect academics with service and leadership in the greater community.
This four-year faith, service, and leadership program, which includes a renewable scholarship of $4,000 per year, is available to those graduates who have demonstrated both an understanding and a practice of the Marianist story.
