Arrupe Fellowship

The Arrupe Fellowship offers undergraduates a formation experience rooted in the Ignatian Center’s mission of creating people for others.

Demonstrate a broader and deepening understanding of personal vocation.
Demonstrate a deepened faith and spiritual life.
Grow in commitment to specific key virtues of solidarity, simplicity, and compassion/empathy.
Articulate the meaning and intersections of service, authenticity, and humility.
