Immaculata will provide a minimum of $9,000 academic merit scholarship for qualifying students.“We are very excited to work with the Diocese of Allentown on this important initiative. Our goal has been and continues to be one of offering a quality education at an affordable price,” said Barbara Lettiere ’72, president of Immaculata University in the release.The guaranteed admission program and the merit scholarship are effective for students entering in fall 2020.
