Oldenburg Academy, Marian University form partnership

Will enhance educational opportunities, foster spiritual growth, and support student development

(OLDENBURG, Ind.) – Oldenburg Academy is forming a collaborative partnership with Marian University in Indianapolis. 

The two institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance educational opportunities, foster spiritual growth, and support the development of students at both Marian University and Oldenburg Academy. 

Through this partnership, OA students will gain access to a variety of resources at Marian University, including opportunities to visit the campus, engage in university events, and participate in immersive learning experiences. 

The collaboration will also facilitate pathways for future students to enroll and matriculate at Marian University, supported by admission and financial aid opportunities. Marian University is offering a $5000 scholarship annually combinable with other Marian aid opportunities for Oldenburg Academy students who choose to pursue an undergraduate degree at Marian University. 

In addition, Marian University will offer Oldenburg Academy students a chance to participate in Marian’s Summer Camps, faith retreats, and community outreach projects. 

The partnership also includes professional development opportunities for the Oldenburg Academy faculty and staff who will have access to graduate programs at Marian University.

Faculty from both institutions will also collaborate on workshops, seminars, and service-learning initiatives to further their shared commitment to Catholic Franciscan education. 

Both institutions also emphasize the importance of community service and outreach as part of their shared mission. 

“We are thrilled to partner with Marian University at such an exciting time for Oldenburg Academy,” said Annette Hunger, President of Oldenburg Academy. “This collaboration aligns perfectly with our goals for Go Beyond 4.0 and Mission Mondays as we look to create an even more dynamic and engaging learning environment. By working with Marian University, we are able to offer our students new pathways for academic success, spiritual development, and community service opportunities that will help them grow as well-rounded individuals committed to living out their faith and values.”
