Sr. Veronica Fasbender Biology Scholarship Interview & Visit

Mount Marty University presents the Sister Veronica Fasbender Biology Scholarship, named after one of the University's excellent biology professors who also lived next door at Sacred Heart Monastery. A botanist by training, Sister Fasbender had a deep appreciation for the natural world and enjoyed camping, fishing and gardening.

This scholarship is $30,000 per year. The immersive visit program at Mount Marty's main campus in Yankton, South Dakota includes the following:

• Interview with faculty from the Biology Department
• Faculty-guided tour of the Avera Science & Nursing Center
• Sitting in on a class taught by Biology faculty
• Meeting with Admission Office representative
• If you select a morning time, we will treat you to a complimentary lunch for you and your guests in the Mount Marty Dining Hall. If you select an afternoon time, we will treat you and your guests to coffee and a snack in Benny's Cafe.

To be eligible for this prestigious interview process, you must have at least a 3.7 high-school or college GPA and plan on majoring in biology or a related pre-professional area at Mount Marty University beginning in fall 2025. This scholarship cannot be combined with any other Mount Marty scholarships, and students planning to participate in athletics at Mount Marty are not eligible.

If you complete the visit and are not selected to receive this scholarship, you will automatically receive a $3,000 per-year Scholastica Interview scholarship, which can be added to your merit scholarship and other Mount Marty awards.
