Student Leadership Scholarship

The Student Leadership Scholarship Awards at the Â鶹´«Ã½ were created to identify and award scholarship aid to candidates who excel in – and are committed to – leadership, community service, and the St. Thomas mission. The awards honor several undergraduate students from all walks of campus life who demonstrate a deep commitment to the St. Thomas mission. Scholarship award recipients will be selected by the Leadership Scholarship Award Committee.

Those leaders selected will receive awards starting at $1,000 credited to their St. Thomas account.

Student Leadership Positions

Student Leadership Positions (SLP) is a process that involves collaborative efforts of offices and departments from all around campus. The goal of SLP is to encourage cross-promotion of leadership positions and organize various workshops and training to help prepare candidates for the application process.

Planting Seeds Mural

The Mural Project first started in 2016 and was fueled by students’ desire to have an artwork that represents the unique stories and diversity of the campus community at Â鶹´«Ã½.

Student Memorial

The Memorial for Deceased Students provides a place on campus where we can mourn the loss of beloved St. Thomas community individuals and reflect upon the impact they had — on us, our friends, and the entire campus community. It sits at the heart of university student life, allowing everyone to honor the memory of all who have passed.
