SXU Emerging Scholars Program
The Emerging Scholars Program promotes the retention and academic success of African-American students at Saint Xavier University. The program is committed to providing relevant experiences that aim to help African-American students succeed academically, professionally and socially through development in the following areas: education/retention, leadership, social, community involvement and cultural/spiritual awareness.
