These are intended for companions navigating emergencies or financial hardships outside of their control may apply. Such circumstances could include but are not limited to:

  • Family reasons
  • Access to learning materials
  • Medical emergencies
  • Accidents
  • Emergency travel

The average size of a Magdalena Mini-grant is $350, with a cap of $500. In turn, we encourage companions to explore additional resources in circumstances where need exceeds the scope of mini-grants.  RU & Community Resources. Mini-grants may not be applied to tuition, room, board or other fees on one's Rockhurst account.

Who is Magdalena?

St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, spent months recovering from a cannonball injury. This time of convalescence proved a crucial turning point in his life. Magdalena, St. Ignatius’ sister-in-law, served as his primary caretaker and was instrumental in his life’s new trajectory, one that resulted in founding the Society of Jesus. We name these mini-grants in Magdalena’s honor, hoping that the support allows companions to thrive and, in their own unique ways, contribute to making our good world better.
