SAN DIEGO UNIVERSITY
In San Diego, California, there is a private, Roman Catholic research institution called the University of San Diego (USD). The academic institutions, which were established in July 1949 as the autonomous San Diego Institute for Women and San Diego University (which also included the College for Men and School of Law), amalgamated into the University of San Diego in 1972. Since that time, the university has expanded to include nine undergraduate and graduate programs, including the Shiley-Marcos Faculty of Engineering, Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, Hahn School of Nursing and Health Sciences, School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES), Knauss School of Business, and Division of Professional and Continuing Education. There are about 9,073 undergraduate, paralegal, graduate, and law students enrolled at USD, which offers 89 undergraduate and graduate degrees. It is listed as belonging to the category “R2: Doctoral Universities – High Research Activity”. San Diego University, which housed the College for Men and School of Law, and the San Diego College for Women both received charters in 1949. In 1952, the College for Women welcomed its first group of students. On a plot of land called the “Alcalá Park,” named for San Diego de Alcalá, the institution was chartered by the Most Reverend Charles Buddy, D.D., then bishop of the Archdiocese of San Diego, and Reverend Mother Rosa Hill, RSCJ, a Superior Vicaress of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The College for Men and the School of Law both began operations in 1954.
ABOUT THE SHORES SCHOLARSHIP
In order to help students at Forbush and Starmount School explore their future alternatives and then receive counseling and support to best prepare them for their chosen field, the Shore Scholars program was created.
The Shore Scholars Program, which was established in 2019, is intended for a select group of rising 11th and 12th-grade students from Starmount and Forbush Schools who are interested in pursuing a degree or occupational credential and who would like to gain from having a supportive peer group and a personal mentor to offer encouragement and assistance toward their career and life goals.
For students participating in the Career and College Dream program, additional financial aid is also available to cover the costs of books, supplies, uniforms, fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses. The initiative offers a tiny last-dollar grant to students who want to continue acquiring degrees or credentials after they graduate. The Yadkin Guarantee and other scholarships, such as the post-graduation scholarships, do not cover all of the costs of tuition, books, uniforms, fees, and other expenses.
