Marianist Leadership Scholars
These student leaders put their faith in action.
The United States Province of the Society of Mary offers to all graduates of the Marianist Education Consortium schools some financial aid to the University of Dayton. For those graduates who have demonstrated both an understanding and a practice of the Marianist tradition, a renewable scholarship of $4,000 a year is available.
For more information on the full program, visit the MLS program homepage.
