Saints Catholic Connection Partnerships Guarantee Admission and Scholarships for Eligible Students

Emmanuel College is now offering guaranteed admission and merit scholarships for eligible students at 15 Catholic high schools in the Greater Boston area. 

Launched in 2025, the Saints Catholic Connection Guarantee program provides additional opportunities for students at partner institutions to study in the heart of Boston.

“Emmanuel is privileged to partner with these outstanding institutions to uplift the intellects and hearts of young people, while preparing them to thrive in a fast-changing world,” said Emmanuel College President Beth Ross. “The Saints Catholic Connection Guarantee is emblematic of our shared commitment to Catholic educational values—and brings current and future students within closer reach of the career- and life-shaping power of an Emmanuel education.”

The guarantee is available to students at partner schools who have earned a weighted GPA of 3.5 or higher through their junior year. Candidates must also apply to Emmanuel and visit campus. 

"When students and their families come to our campus, they experience our vibrant community in the heart of Boston and see the benefits of our liberal arts core and focus on experiential learning,” said Ian Sonia, Emmanuel’s Associate Vice President of Undergraduate Enrollment. “The Saints Catholic Connection creates a seamless pathway for students at our partner schools to continue their educational journey at 400 The Fenway."

Starting in fall of 2026, the guarantee will be available to students at the following schools:
