The Johnson Scholars program is funded by a generous gift from donors Rupert and Maryellie Johnson as a way to help students and enhance the university’s mission. The program was established to award full, renewable academic scholarships to up to 10 of the college’s most academically accomplished, leadership-minded applicants.

During their four years, the Johnson Scholars are given premier access to the university’s top leadership and honors programs, including the prestigious Johnson Leadership Fellows program, which is a summer stipend for a self-designed leadership experience.

“We welcome these incredibly driven and community-minded student leaders,” said university president Michael Engh, S.J. “Each of them embodies the values that the Johnsons sought to honor with this scholarship: compassion, leadership, integrity, and academic excellence.”

The incoming Johnson Scholars hail from six states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Washington, and Wisconsin.
