Founded in 1852, St. Marys University in San Antonio is the oldest Catholic and Marianist university in the southwest. The Harvey Najim Center for Business Innovation and Social Responsibility offers hands-on experience for students across different disciplines, such as engineering, humanities and business, while also contributing to the economic d... evelopment and commercial benefit of local companies in San Antonio. The university also recently established the Center for Catholic Studies, which looks at the Catholic Church in society and culture. First-time freshman and transfer students are automatically considered for merit scholarships of up to $24,000 without having to complete an additional application, but prospective students can also apply for six other scholarships, including music talent awards and Army ROTC scholarships. For more than 100 years, St. Marys University has celebrated the Fiesta Oyster Bake, which has become one of San Antonios most popular events, featuring bands, offering a banquet of oysters and raising millions of dollars for scholarships.Read More
