A $1.325 million, four-year pledge from the Marymount Education Foundation is offering transformative scholarships to 10 additional incoming Cal Lutheran students from the Greater Los Angeles area.
The Marymount Scholars Program began last year following the foundation’s initial commitment to support seven students. The number of scholars will now grow to 17, including six first-year and four transfer students, who will receive renewable scholarships aimed at easing the costs of tuition, housing, meals, textbooks and study abroad while fostering professional development opportunities.
The program's origins reach back to 2022, when Marymount California University closed its doors, and the foundation looked to other private universities to continue its mission of bringing positive change by improving accessibility, degree attainment and community initiatives.
Robyn K. Jones, the foundation’s executive director, described the partnership with Cal Lutheran as “grounded in a shared belief that students deserve access to a high-quality private education, along with the resources and mentorship needed to succeed.”
“At Cal Lutheran, we believe education has the power to transform lives — and partnerships like this one are how that belief becomes reality,” President John Arthur Nunes said.
A continuing partnership with the Marymount Education Foundation will expand opportunities for incoming first-year and transfer students heading to Cal Lutheran.
