The Fr. Dean Brackley, S.J., Endowment for Mission and Identity��was established in March 2012. This endowment will help us achieve the institutional goal of training more faculty and staff to help our students incorporate their immersion experiences into their lives. The training is meant to help students examine the challenging questions of faith that arise from these experiences. The scholarship is named in honor of Fr. Dean Brackley, S.J., (1946-2011), who volunteered in 1989 to leave his position at the New York Province of Jesuits and move to El Salvador to join the staff at the Jesuit University in El Salvador where faculty members, their housekeeper, and her daughter were slain by Salvadoran armed forces.

This gift from the Jesuit Community supports:

• Retreats and programs for faculty and staff that articulate the Jesuit Catholic intellectual tradition as ecumenical, world-embracing, and imaginative in the presentations of religious values.

• Campus Ministry and immersion experiences that will enable è������APP students to participate in programs focused on faith-based social justice issues. Funds will support increased staff, education, and travel budgets.

• Faculty-led service and immersion trips–both domestic and international–for more è������APP��students. Currently, 30 percent of JCU students are involved in service and immersion trips annually. The University hopes to expand program offerings so at least half of all undergraduates are able to participate in one or more immersion experience before graduation.

The Edmund Campion, S.J., Scholarship Fund��is a quasi-endowment used to fund general scholarships (“University Scholarship”) for deserving students at è������APP. All undergraduate applicants to è������APP are reviewed and considered for the University Scholarship, which is awarded to applicants who have strong academic records, an impressive leadership background, and/or a commitment to community service.

The scholarship is named for Edmund Campion (1540-1581), an English Roman Catholic martyr and Jesuit priest who led an underground ministry in Protestant England. He was arrested by priest hunters, convicted of high treason, and killed. Father Campion was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 and canonized in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.

The Rev. Alberto Hurtado, S.J., Scholarship,��formerly known as the Jesuit Community Minorities Scholarship Fund, was established in 1998 to provide funding for a minority student(s). In creating the fund, The rector of è������APP’s Jesuit Community, Peter Fennessy, S.J., stated, “We hope this gift will advance the University’s goal of increasing the ethnic, racial, and socio-economic diversity of our campus.” In 2007, the JCU Jesuits re-named the fund in honor of Rev. Alberto Hurtado, S.J., (1901-1952),��a Chilean Jesuit priest,��lawyer, social worker, and writer. He was canonized in 2005, by Pope Benedict XVI,��becoming Chile’s second saint.

The scholarship��continues to provide scholarships for minority students, including �����APP Access Initiative students. If the University is unable to identify qualified minority students to receive these funds, they will be used to fund general scholarships awarded by the University.

The Matteo Ricci, S.J., Endowed Scholarship��is used to fund scholarships for international students. If the University is unable to identify qualified international students to receive these funds, they will first be used to fund minority scholarships or general scholarships. The��fund is named in honor of Rev. Matteo Ricci, S.J., (1552-1610) an Italian Jesuit priest, mathematician, astronomer, and one of the founders of the Jesuit China Mission in the late 1500s. Fr. Ricci was the first Western missionary ever invited��to the imperial court of the Wan-Li Emperor in Peking. When he died in 1610, Ricci left behind 2,500 Chinese Catholics.
