July 15, 2011 – Mount Mary College Receives NML Grant
Mount Mary College has received a $25,000 grant from the Northwestern Mutual Foundation offering scholarship support for students in the Midtown Program.
The Midtown program meets the needs of young women who are academically qualified to attend college, but lack the financial resources necessary to complete a degree. In addition to providing substantial financial support for young women from Milwaukee’s urban community, the program also provides support services that help to ensure retention and ultimately completion of a college education.
More information on the grant can be obtained by contacting Donna Gastevich at 414-256-1217 or at gastevid@mtmary.edu.

Mount Mary College, founded in 1913 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, was Wisconsin’s first four-year, degree-granting Catholic college for women. Located on an 80-acre campus in Milwaukee, the College offers more than 60 undergraduate areas of study for women and eight graduate programs for women and men. Mount Mary also emphasizes study abroad, service learning, and social justice initiatives. Its more than 1900 students enjoy small class sizes (average 14) and 95 percent of full-time students receive financial aid or scholarships. Through classroom instruction and community service, Mount Mary develops women to be leaders in their professions and their communities, serving as role models to inspire achievement in others.
