Alum Referral Scholarship
Do you know an outstanding high school student who would make a great Bennie or Johnnie?
As a graduate of the College of Saint Benedict or Saint John’s University, you know firsthand the transformative experience of a CSB/SJU education. The new Alum Referral Scholarship gives you the opportunity to help students take a similar journey of discovery. With your referral, students you believe would make a great addition to our community automatically qualify for a $1,000 scholarship (renewable for four years, totaling $4,000).
This new scholarship opportunity is a testament to the importance of your involvement in the lives of our future alums.
