The Office for Student Empowerment (OSE) ensures that every student at Saint Mary's College has the voice, agency, and resources to fully engage in their college experience. Rooted in our Catholic tradition of honoring the dignity of every person, OSE equips limited-income students to grow as purposeful leaders and curious scholars. Through mentoring, advocacy, and access to opportunity, we collaborate with others in the community to accompany students as they discover their vocations and use their gifts to shape a more just and compassionate world.
Supporting Students, Supporting Success
We work closely with campus partners to provide a cohesive network of resources in addition to financial help.
Wraparound services supported through the Office for Student Empowerment include:
- Laptops (first year students only)
- Move in kits (first year students only)
- Laptop repairs
- Football tickets
- Winter clothing
- Professional clothing
- Emergency travel funding
- Commencement regalia
- Seminars, retreats, and class trips (fees only)
Other Ways We Help
Another way our office helps students with expenses is through a special fund earmarked for sudden or unexpected financial needs. The Student Emergency Fund is available to all Saint Mary's students.
