The Urban Scholars Program

Rooted in Marquette’s Jesuit tradition of increasing access to higher education, the Urban Scholars program exists to support the success of high-achieving Milwaukee area students by providing annual full-tuition scholarships. These students demonstrate financial need, a history of leadership and service, and many of whom are first-generation. The program fosters student success and belonging, transforming for the scholars through holistic advising, leadership and professional development opportunities, community engagement, socio-cultural activities, and various resources.
