Led by priests, brothers, and seminarians of the Congregation of Holy Cross, the Summer Seminary Immersion Program (SSIP) is a two-week academic experience designed for high school aged men (15-18 years old) interested in deepening their relationship with Christ and His Church. SSIP is also open to high school men who may have considered a more serious calling to priesthood or to life as a religious brother.

The program helps young men explore discernment of God’s call through study of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, the office of the priesthood, and the consecrated life. Taking place on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, participants will be housed at Moreau Seminary, allowing them first-hand experience of seminary life. Additionally, the daily schedule will include Holy Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, social time, exercise and leisure. There will also be important opportunities for service-learning and community-building activities both on and off campus. Successful completion of the Summer Seminary Immersion Program coursework earns a college credit in theology from the University of Notre Dame.

COLLEGE FOR CREATIVE STUDIES | VALADE SCHOLAR

10/12/2022

Calling visual artists applying to the Art Practice major at College for Creative Studies: Compete for a $50,000 scholarship!

Visual artists offer the world more than beautiful images and objects: they explore the human condition, challenge conventional wisdom and encourage understanding. Their work invites us to reflect on who we are and where we’re going.

Because of this, the College for Creative Studies’ Valade Scholarship seeks to reward excellence in the visual arts. High School seniors applying to CCS for Fall 2023 who show exceptional promise, apply to our Art Practice major, have a 3.0 high school GPA, and who work within and between the disciplines of painting, drawing, print or digital media, sculpture, installation or performance — are eligible to apply.

One incoming freshman will receive a $50,000 award, to be distributed in $12,500 increments over the course of four years. This award will be given in addition to any Merit Scholarship CCS may also award.

How to Apply

Complete the CCS Undergraduate Application and requirements for the Art Practice Major by December 1.
Complete your Valade Scholars Application, which will require a statement about your goals as a professional artist and why you should be the next Valade Scholar, by December 1. Selection will be led by Art Practice Chair and Associate Professor Valerie Jenkins.

Only freshman applicants who intend to study in our Art Practice major will be considered.
Black, Indigenous and other students of color are encouraged to apply.
