Scholar. Athlete. Leader.

Saint Francis University is proud to welcome three outstanding students who have earned highly competitive National Army ROTC Scholarships: Owen Ignatowski, Luke Hrinda, and Landon Shearman.

These scholarships recognize their academic achievement, leadership potential, and commitment to serving our country. National Army ROTC Scholarships cover full tuition, and at Saint Francis, recipients also receive a University-funded room-and-board scholarship.

As these newest cadets begin their journey at SFU, they’ll be challenged to grow as students, leaders, and future commissioned officers in the U.S. Army.

Congratulations, Owen, Luke, and Landon! 🇺🇸🐺
