Seattle University is a leader in providing access to education. Our scholarships offer the hope of an otherwise unattainable future for more than 83 percent of our students. We must continue to endeavor to support high achieving students, who may never gain a college education due to financial barriers.
Becoming an even greater university requires the establishment of an endowment sufficient to not only preserve but also grow scholarship funding that will allow promising students access to an education that will help them transform the world.
Impact the individuals who will impact the world.
