Updated: January 2025

 

Since 2007 when the first cohort entered as Urban Scholars, the Urbans Scholars Program at Marquette University has had proven success in providing access to a Marquette education and building leaders who contribute back to the Milwaukee community. The program components are important and lead to the growth of Urban Scholars collectively and individually. This scholarship is not just an award, but an holistic support program. These expectations are designed to connect students back to the mission of Urban Scholars and the mission of Marquette University.
