In 1979, the Seattle University Alumni Board of Governors established the McGoldrick Alumni Scholarship Program, named after Fr. James B. McGoldrick S.J. (1895-1983), the late dean and professor of educational psychology. This scholarship is specifically designated for children, grandchildren and siblings of Seattle U alumni or current students. The university and its donors are dedicated to supporting this merit scholarship to continue the legacy and excellence of Seattle University from generation to generation.

The $1000 annually renewable scholarship is awarded to legacy undergraduate students, including transfer and international students, who have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and competitive SAT or ACT scores.

We invite you to participate in LinkUp, the signature mentoring and networking event for students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Designed to be casual, informal and approachable, this annual event encourages students majoring in social sciences and humanities to explore career pathways and learn from alumni and friends. We are actively seeking alumni volunteers for this powerful event. Alumni from any school or college are invited to participate.

Help shape emerging professionals, provide life perspective and inspire exploration into various career choices. Students appreciate the networking environment this event creates and provides them the opportunity to connect with three or four professionals working in areas of interest for 15-minute conversations.

Two simultaneous LinkUp events occur on January 28 from 4:30-6 p.m., one for our undergraduate students and another for graduate students.
