Per the MOU, qualified graduates of Diocese-affiliated Catholic high schools (Althoff Catholic High School, Mater Dei Catholic High School and Gibault Catholic High School) 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.
