Nazareth University Rolls Out Scholarship Package Worth $92,000 for Students from Rochester
Nazareth University has launched a new scholarship program for graduates of the Rochester City School District. This program, worth almost $100,000, will help students in realizing their educational goals by providing them with financial support and resources.
What is the RCSD Direct Admissions Program?
This is the first-of-its-kind program at Nazareth University, called RCSD Direct Admissions. The concept of “direct admissions” is gaining popularity among universities. It enables institutions to proactively admit students who meet specific eligibility criteria without requiring a formal application.
For this program, Nazareth University is working in collaboration with the RCSD to identify eligible students maintaining a B average or above. The students will then be directly offered admission into the university, which eliminates all the complicated enrollment processes.
Empowering Dreams and Unlocking Potential
“We are excited to see our students activate dreams and unlock potential with the support and resources provided through this incredible opportunity,” said Demario Strickland, RCSD’s interim superintendent.
Eligible students will take advantage of Nazareth for significant scholarships amounting to $92,000 in four years. They get the assurance of spending fewer years burdened with big debts.
A Commitment to Community Transformation
Associate Vice President of Admissions and Enrollment at Nazareth University, Christie Smith, further underlined the larger scope of the program. “This initiative is about more than admitting students. It’s about creating meaningful change in our community and helping a generation achieve economic stability and success.
Unlike most scholarship programs, there is no limit on the number of recipients; Nazareth University is keen on giving as many students as possible access to this life-changing opportunity.
Resource Access
Students accepted in this program will have at their disposal a wealth of resources, including:
- Mental Health Services: It is a comprehensive support aimed at ensuring emotional well-being.
- Personal Career Coaches: This is guidance to keep one’s career path on course with personal goals.
- Academic Advisors: Tailored academic support throughout their college journey.
- SPARK Grants: Funding for research, internships, and study abroad programs.
“We are ready with open arms to embrace these students,” Smith added. “Our goal is not only to help them graduate but to ensure they lead fulfilling lives and give back to the Rochester community.”
This initiative demonstrates Nazareth University’s commitment to transforming lives and fostering a stronger, more prosperous community.
