BISMARCK, ND - The University of Mary and FOCUS are highlighting an expanded scholarship opportunity for the FOCUS community. Eligible current missionaries, staff members, and alumni may receive up to $7,000 toward select University of Mary graduate programs, subject to admission and scholarship requirements.

The scholarship is available for four flexible, faith-centered degree programs:

• Master of Business Administration (MBA)
• Master of Business Administration and Master of Arts in Philosophy dual degree (MBA/MA)
• Master of Arts in Applied Catholic Theology (MA)
• Master of Organizational Leadership (MOL)

The scholarship is designed to help members of the FOCUS community translate their experience in evangelization, team leadership, fundraising, formation, and campus ministry into advanced professional preparation. The University of Mary's Catholic and Benedictine mission provides a natural setting for students who want to develop practical expertise without separating leadership from faith, vocation, and service.

These degrees are part of the University of Mary's broader collection of online programs for Catholic professionals. Online MBA, MBA/MA, and MOL sessions begin every four weeks. The MBA may be completed in as little as one year, while the MBA/MA and MOL may be completed in as little as 16 months. The Applied Catholic Theology program combines online study with on-campus institutes and may also be completed in approximately 16 months. Program length depends on the student's course load and pathway.
