Their intent is to make this kind of transformational college experience more widely available to others who are in
the greatest need. Their hope is that the scholarship will give the recipients time to succeed in their classes, engage
with student organizations and communities beyond campus, and, above all, build the friendships that are surely
amongst the most important things one can take away from college without the financial burden.”

received the following Xavier awards: Community Engaged Fellowship or St. Francis Xavier Scholarship (or
equivalent full-tuition institutional aid awards in the future). In addition, eligibility can be determined by the Office
