What is the Global Scholars Program?

Saint Ursula Academy in collaboration with The Ursuline Education Network (UEN) offers the Ursuline Global Scholars Certificate to graduating high school students across the country who have demonstrated a strong interest in global citizenship by successfully completing curricular studies with a global focus and engaging in co-curricular activities and experiences that foster the development of global competencies.  

The national Global Scholars Certificate inspires and validates excellent global education learning opportunities, encourages students to enroll in courses and participate in activities with a global focus, and prepares globally competent students to be competitive in international careers. This distinction will reward those students who are willing to stretch beyond traditional requirements in order to set themselves apart in the international arena.  

The Global Scholars distinction validates a student’s deliberate pursuit of a global education.  This distinction aims to:

• Encourage students to recognize the value of and emphasize global aspects of their education, understanding the links between their own lives and those of people throughout the world
• Enable students to increase their understanding of the economic, cultural, political and environmental influences which shape our lives
• Develop the skills, attitudes and values which enable people to work together to bring about change and take control of their own lives
• Work towards achieving a more just and sustainable world in which power and resources are more equitably shared.
• Serve as a distinctive selection criterion in the admissions process to colleges and universities
• Serve as an important competitive distinction for prospective employers
