The Providence Scholars awards are institutional scholarships for newly admitted students entering the MSW (Providence Service Scholars) or MA in Counseling (Providence Healing Scholars) programs in the Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 terms. The award is applied automatically at registration and continues each term of continuous, satisfactory enrollment. It may be combined with need-based federal financial aid but not with other OLLU institutional tuition discounts or scholarships. This is a pilot for the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 entering cohorts. Contact OLLU Student Financial Services for details.
