Burke Scholars

The Burke Scholarship is a four-year program for undergraduate students who have a passion for social justice and a commitment to serve others. 

The Burke Scholarship is an intensive program that links academics, career goals, and engagement with the community in order to deepen scholars’ abilities as change-makers and active citizens. A significant part of the program is the commitment to serve 10 hours of community service per week during each academic semester (equal to 300 hours of community service per academic year). Additionally, the program includes weekly seminars, leadership development, peer and staff support, and extracurricular activities that are immersed in the Milwaukee community and the spirit of Jesuit education.
