The MOU creates access and opportunity for high school students in the Diocese of Joliet to enroll at the University of St. Francis. Per the MOU, graduates of Diocese-affiliated Catholic high schools (Benet Academy, Bishop McNamara Catholic School, IC Catholic Prep, Joliet Catholic Academy, Montini Catholic, Providence Catholic, and St. Francis) will be guaranteed admission to the University of St. Francis. In addition, eligible students will be provided an opportunity to earn the Joliet Franciscan Scholars award of up to $3,000. These students will still be eligible for consideration in USF merit-based scholarships awarded based upon test scores, GPA, and other academic achievements up to $21,000.<\/p><p>In addition to the guaranteed admission, USF plans to host workshops and information sessions for Diocese-based school counselors, teachers, parents, and prospective students. USF will also offer campus visitation days facilitating exploration and engagement with the Diocese Schools. Admissions and enrollment support services will be available for all prospective students.<\/p><p>Dr. Ryan C. Hendrickson, President of the University of St. Francis noted: \u201cWe are so pleased with this new partnership and look forward to working with the Catholic high schools within the Joliet Diocese. We now have a pathway that removes admission barriers and eases the pathway to enrollment at USF, which includes scholarship support.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThis partnership between the Diocese of Joliet and the University of St. Francis provides the students of our Catholic high schools a wonderful option. They can advance their education while staying engaged with the Catholic church in the Diocese, growing in their faith and serving our community.\u201d Said Dr. Jim Quaid, Diocese of Joliet Superintendent of Catholic Schools.<\/p><p>The University of St. Francis and the Diocese of Joliet are pleased to work together to create accessible and affordable university education.
