Boys & Girls Clubs of America Scholarships

Boys & Girls Clubs of America recognizes fortitude of character, commitment to service and extraordinary leadership through the National Youth of the Year Program. Marquette, through its role as a national education partner for the Boys & Girls Clubs, is pleased to honor those students who have chosen to Be The Difference in their community and, in turn, the world. Marquette will offer up to three full-tuition scholarships for these talented students. In August 2009, former Marquette star and NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade joined Marquette and the Boys & Girls Clubs as a champion, supporter and spokesperson for the partnership.
