Schmitt Scholars Program
The Schmitt Scholars Program promotes the development of promising student leaders. Each Schmitt Scholar receives a scholarship and participates in a year-long program of education and activities that helps participants advance their leadership efforts at Saint Xavier and prepares them to make a broader impact on the world after graduation. Participation in the program is renewable for up to three additional years, based on the successful fulfillment of program expectations. The program is supported by a generous grant from the Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation. Arthur Schmitt was a successful entrepreneur, engineer, and inventor who was committed to fostering leadership in young people. His legacy has supported generations of Schmitt Scholars at select Midwest colleges and universities.
The Schmitt Scholars Program includes a series of activities and reflections designed to advance and assess students’ leadership skills, promote the development of values-based leadership inspired by the mission of Saint Xavier and the heritage of the Sisters of Mercy, foster career development, facilitate service on campus and in the community, and motivate students to make an impact on the broader world after graduation by preparing them for future leadership roles in their professions and communities. The Program is managed by The Office of Inclusive Excellence.
Each spring SXU will hold the Schmitt Scholars Symposium and Legacy Reception. Here the Schmitt Scholars will present on their community-based learning experiences. The presentation will include a reflection on how the experience has had an impact on their personal development and leadership. The Schmitt Foundation, members of the SXU community and SXU Schmitt Scholar Alums will be invited as guests.
Our criteria for selecting Schmitt Scholars focuses on students’ leadership potential and academic achievement. Applicants are required to demonstrate a record of academic excellence with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better; active involvement in student organizations, extra-curricular academic projects, and other University-sponsored and community-based programs; and evidence of the ability to assume a leadership role on campus and beyond. Students invited to apply for the program must be full-time undergraduate, degree-seeking students with sophomore, junior, or senior standing. Students in any major are eligible for the program. Applicants must be willing to participate in a year-long program of activities as part of the Schmitt Scholars Program. Students who are planning to attend SXU for only one additional semester (i.e., fall only) will not be eligible.
For additional information on the Schmitt Scholars Program, please contact the program's co-leads Dr. Natalie Page (npage@sxu.edu), Dr. Manal Kanaan (kanaan@sxu.edu), and/or Tatiana Alaraj (alaraj@sxu.edu).
