When Madelyn Reum ’29 received her invitation to St. Ambrose University’s Scholars Day, she knew she had to attend. “The people, the atmosphere, the campus, everything just felt right.”
A few weeks later, Reum received a call from SAU with life-changing news: she had been awarded a full-tuition scholarship. Now a double major in criminal justice and psychology, she encourages other invited students to attend Scholars Day: “Go! You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
Encourage students to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to potentially earn scholarships and start their college journey on the right foot!
