Formation That Matters
You've felt the pressure to conform to a worldview that disregards the value of human life. Maybe you've seen it in your own family: graduates leaving the faith behind, embracing a world hostile to Christianity.
Formation is what helps a person successfully navigate a challenging culture and transform it. In an ever-changing world, formation helps create strong and courageous young men and women who can become not only faithful mothers and fathers, but also religious sisters and priests.
Our students are formed to be leaders who can transform the world.
Yes! I want to help form strong, courageous Catholic leaders like Adryan.
“Your support of Catholic education has allowed me to pursue my academic goals while growing spiritually and professionally, and to prepare for the future God is calling me toward.”Adryan Van Wyk, Senior, Business Administration & Communications, Scholarship Recipient
From our president
I'm asking you to please be generous to our students. I know that's a big investment, but the returns are exponential as these students impact those around them.
My unwavering commitment to you and to students like Adryan is that Ave Maria University will continue to be authentically Catholic, academically challenging, and joyfully vibrant. AMU will continue to be America's University for Catholic leaders.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. You are part of an incredible collegiate family, transforming the world through our students.
