Available Scholarships
The Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship pays homage to the legacy of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first native-born American saint, and a pioneering figure in American Catholicism who devoted a significant portion of her life to serving the poor and those in need.
In 1809, Elizabeth Ann Seton founded the first religious community for women in the United States. Under her direction, the community played a crucial role in developing orphanages, hospitals, and schools, providing care and education to impoverished individuals. Today, we continue to feel the lasting impacts of Mother Seton’s dedication to providing material, spiritual, and emotional assistance to those who needed it most. The Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship is designed to help support students who share a similar commitment to service and a profound ministerial promise. To be eligible, students must be part of the Archdiocese of Chicago, and demonstrate a strong desire to fulfill their calling to serve the Church and contribute to the broader community, reflecting the spirit of Elizabeth Ann Seton’s life and work.
This academic year, The School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization is delighted to present the George Cardinal Mundelein Scholarship. This scholarship stands as a testament to our dedication to fostering excellence in theological education and pastoral studies.
The George Cardinal Mundelein scholarship is named in honor of the legacy of George Cardinal Mundelein, the 3rd Archbishop of Chicago and founder of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, Mundelein Seminary.
Exclusive to students in enrolled in either the Masters of Theological Studies or Masters of Pastoral Studies programs, eligibility requires affiliation with a diocese that seminarians to Mundelein, along with active enrollment in work or worship within that diocese. The George Cardinal Mundelein Scholarship is valued at up to $11,000 per academic year, and is renewable for the duration of the program.
