21st Century Scholars succeed at The Woods

As a 21st Century Scholar you will join an elite group of students at SMWC

Founded by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin in 1841, our school was founded on grit and perseverance. Sound familiar? We thought so. You already know you’ve got free tuition in the State of Indiana. But what about the rest of your college expenses? Our team goes the extra mile to get you an education with little to no debt.

As a 21st Century Scholar student, you may receive a scholarship with $15,000-21,000 toward tuition. In addition, a few lucky students who qualify will receive additional funds to use towards room and board.

Take the virtual tour, request major information or jump right in and apply because that’s when the scholarship magic starts to take form.
