Our Catholic faith and identity is central to who we are at the University of Providence. For us, it means that we teach and we heal as Jesus did. And Jesus didn't exclude populations from that. So for us to be an authentically Catholic school, that means we naturally also have to be an inclusive school, where everyone can belong under the same common umbrella of seeking truth.
I feel like we're pretty open to everybody. I don't think students necessarily know that right away. But as like we started to open up Bible study more and more so... It's really neat to see others that are not just Catholic, but just other religions that they might be practicing whether they might be Muslim or Mormon, just being able to like comfortably like speak about it and not get into like an argument. It's just, it's really, really nice.
The University of Providence offers a multitude of scholarship and financial aid opportunities for students. Two of our most unique ones would be our leadership scholarship and our Catholic scholarship. These are potential full academic scholarships or even partial academic scholarships. While one focuses on Catholic students in particular, our leadership scholarship is actually open to anyone irrelevant to their faith tradition.
Having diversity on this campus is super huge and important, just to understand that the outside world is more than just what we might have grown up with. Because we all come from different places and everything. So having that diversity helps, I guess, give us different ideas and mindsets and just being open to other things.
Any student can find a place at the University of Providence irrelevant to their faith tradition. We build a diverse community where we can, of course, learn from our tradition, but also learn from each other and that's the great beauty of having such a diverse campus culturally and spiritually is we get to encounter God in each other.
