Are you interested in community service?

The Transfer Admission Office is excited to introduce a new scholarship opportunity for incoming transfer students - Finucane Service Award. 

This scholarship is a renewable award valued at $1,500 per academic year, awarded to five entering full-time, day transfer students.  These students must have, in addition to a sound academic record, demonstrated outstanding service in their communities, providing a written essay incorporating a thoughtful answer to the stated question below.

Deadline for essay submission is May 23.

Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA and give at least 75 hours of service to others each year. The scholarship is renewable for up to four consecutive years of full-time enrollment.

To apply, complete the following:
1. Reflect on your community service experiences during high school as well as your gifts and the needs of others and write an essay that is 1-2 pages in length which answers the following question:

What has service taught you — about yourself, about the world around you and about the importance of volunteerism — and how do you plan to use those skills and abilities during your years at Rockhurst University to be of service to others?

2. Write a service resume that lists your high school or college service experiences in detail:
date range, organization, service activity and number of hours given in service.

3. To submit your application materials, contact Carrie Brun, Director of Transfer Admission, at (816) 501-4100 or carrie.brun@rockhurst.edu.  To submit your application by mail, use the following address:
