Michael R. Lovell Presidential Scholarship Program

We are proud to honor the legacy of President Michael R. Lovell, the 24th president of Marquette University with the introduction of the Lovell Scholars program. Top high school scholars and leaders across the country are encouraged to apply to become prestigious Lovell Scholars. Four full scholarships (tuition, food, housing and fees) will be awarded. Recipients will embody what it means to live a life of servant leadership, academic excellence and humility.

The purpose of the Lovell Scholars Program is to recruit and support a cohort of students from across the nation who are grounded in humility, have a record of the highest academic achievement and have demonstrated leadership and service to others. Each scholar will engage in high-impact, co-curricular learning experiences with a designated faculty mentor, designed to foster their development as scholars and servant leaders. 

This full-ride scholarship is renewable each year of the recipient’s four-year (eight-semester) undergraduate program, provided the recipient maintains good academic standing and meets program requirements.
