Newman Scholars
Each academic year, 4-6 students are awarded $1,000 each and conduct a program in one of 5 areas of concentration: Evangelization, Laity in the Church, Religious Studies, Social Justice and Worship. Applications are distributed in the Spring Semester prior to the year of the award and are open to all full-time students at the University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College.
