The Urban Leadership Learning Community (ULLC) Scholarship is a competitive, four-year renewable scholarship. Students selected for the program receive either a partial or full scholarship towards a recipient’s tuition, room/board and fees at Canisius University.
Mission of the ULLC Program:
Through the Urban Leadership Learning Community Program, Canisius University seeks to fulfill the Jesuit and Catholic tradition of being “men and women for others.” The program aims to create the next generation of leaders by focusing on students from populations that historically have been denied access to positions of influence and power in the community. The purpose of the scholarship is to help finance one’s education, while taking into account demonstrated financial need for students with an interest in promoting diversity and inclusiveness in learning, living, and problem solving. Qualified ULLC students will have an interest in promoting diversity and inclusiveness on campus and in the community. The ULLC scholarship program is looking for independent-thinking, self-motivated students committed to their personal success and to that of greater metropolitan Buffalo, NY. Students will also seek to develop their learning potential through team learning, mentorship, leadership training and involvement in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Through these activities, students are expected to achieve and hold leadership positions in the campus community.
