About the Scholarship

Guadalupe's Scholars is run by the Habiger Institute for Catholic Leadership at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. It pays $2,000 a year towards a four-year degree and carries a community expectation rather than only an academic one.

The fit is specific. You need to be admitted to St. Thomas, involved in parish and Latino community life, and planning to major or minor in Catholic Studies. A 3.0 GPA is the academic floor, and the programme weighs financial need alongside merit.

St. Thomas lists it among the additional scholarships available to international students, so a student on a study visa can apply. It also stacks with the merit scholarship in your admission offer, which for internationals runs from 10 to 70 percent of tuition.

Apply through the admissions portal once you have been admitted. The closing date sits later in the cycle than the full-tuition competitions, usually in early March, so check the current date with the Habiger Institute before you plan around it.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

$2,000 a year towards the cost of a four-year degree. Housing, meals, fees and insurance are paid separately.

Eligibility

Prospective first-year students who have been admitted to St. Thomas, are involved in parish and Latino community life, and intend to major or minor in Catholic Studies. The Habiger Institute asks for a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0, or a 3.0 St. Thomas GPA for students already enrolled, and weighs both merit and financial need. St. Thomas lists the programme among the scholarships available to international students, and states that international students with visas to study are eligible for its merit scholarships.

How to Apply

Incoming students apply through the St. Thomas admissions portal after being admitted. Confirm the current cycle's closing date with the Habiger Institute, because the award has historically closed in early March, later than the competitive scholarship rounds.
