Access and Opportunity Programming
Operation S.M.A.R.T.
Operation S.M.A.R.T. is a 30+ year partnership between College of Saint Mary and Girls Inc. Omaha, which brings an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of K-6 girls to CSM’s campus twice per week after school. Interacting directly with CSM students studying to become elementary school teachers, the girls engage in hands-on natural/social science and math experiences to increase confidence in their ability to succeed in these areas.
Misericordia Scholarship
For undocumented Latina students who are not eligible for federal college assistance, a Misericordia Scholarship opens the door to a College of Saint Mary education. Applicants are awarded tuition and room and board scholarships based on academic standing, community leadership/service, and financial need. By accepting an award, students are required to live on campus, be enrolled full-time, and engage in campus service hours each semester.
Summer Academies
The Summer Academies in Math and Science at College of Saint Mary provide an exciting, week-long, living-and-learning opportunity for young women of color. High school students will dive into an inclusive campus community while learning alongside friends, experiencing college life, and taking part in Omaha’s rich culture.
