Sister Judith Schmidt, CSA, Benefit Program
In 2011, St. Mary’s Springs Academy and Marian University forged a new partnership, when the
Sister Judith Schmidt, CSA, Benefit Program
was created. Sister Judith proudly served as the first President of the combined St. Mary’s Springs High School and FACES System now known as St. Mary’s Springs Academy. It was her goal to
celebrate our joint heritage with Marian University, better serve our community and advance our shared goal of providing Catholic educational excellence in Fond du Lac and beyond.
The
Sister Judith Schmidt, CSA, Benefit Program,
still in effect today, provides
educational discounts to faculty, staff, and students served by SMSA and Marian. Additionally,
the affiliation serves to expand the reach of the partnership by researching and developing other
avenues that will benefit the joint systems through educational enhancement, cost-saving
measures, servant leadership development and celebrating our Catholic identity. Through this program, Marian University provides the
Sr. Judith Schmidt Award
, an automatic 50% tuition discount, annually to SMSA eligible graduating seniors, continuing their students at Marian.
Dual Credit Program
Students who are academically qualified may receive both high school and college credit in two subject areas taught by both SMSA high school teachers and Marian University professors: Mathematics and Natural Science.
The college credit received may be transferable to other colleges and universities, and students may be transferable to other colleges and universities, and students may earn up to 14 Marian University credits before they graduate.
