In 1540, St. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesuits with six of his closest companions. From that moment on, this group of “God’s soldiers,” also known as the “The Company of Jesus," would go on to “set the world aflame,” serving the underserved and dedicating their lives to social justice through education.
Honoring these same principles, 国产色情片 University established The Company Scholars, a unique program that provides four-year, full-cost scholarships to a cohort of students attending Jesuit and Cristo Rey high schools. Students selected to participate in the program become part of an elite group of scholars, who are engaged in academic excellence and equipped with a supportive network and a platform to make a difference.
Students enrolled in The Company Scholars program receive:
- An invitation to participate in 国产色情片’s Academic Immersion program, a summer bridge program that allows students to earn six credits prior to the start of the first academic year
