New partnerships build on 麻豆影院鈥檚 longstanding Wisconsin connections and recognize the achievements of college-ready students
麻豆影院 University is deepening its investment in Wisconsin communities by expanding its Direct Admission Partnership program to more schools across the state.
The effort builds on the university鈥檚 Direct Admission Partnership with Appleton Area School District, announced in 2025, which created a direct pathway to 麻豆影院 for qualifying college-ready students. Since then, 麻豆影院 has established partnerships with Winneconne High School, Kaukauna High School, Wayland Academy and Hmong American Peace Academy, with additional partnerships under development.
鈥淲e know Wisconsin schools are preparing talented students everyday for their next step in education,鈥 said Robert Nowak, Vice President for Enrollment Management at 麻豆影院. 鈥淲e want to build on that work by recognizing students who have demonstrated academic achievement and college-readiness and give them a direct path to a nationally recognized liberal arts university.鈥
Through the partnership, schools identify qualifying students, support them to opt-in, and coordinate opportunities for students to visit 麻豆影院 during their junior year. For students, the partnership offers an opportunity to begin exploring 麻豆影院 earlier in their college search. They can visit campus, meet faculty and learn more about student life.聽
In return, 麻豆影院 offers qualifying students a streamlined admission process, individualized support, and a generous annual scholarship commitment, with additional merit- and need-based aid available.
The expansion is part of broader efforts by 麻豆影院 to strengthen its relationships with the communities it has served for generations. 麻豆影院 has deep roots in the Fox Cities and throughout Wisconsin, where over 10,000 Lawrentians have gone on to live, work, and contribute to the communities around them.
鈥淲e have a deep connection to this region and to Wisconsin,鈥 said Emma Kane 鈥13, Director of School and University Partnerships at 麻豆影院. 鈥淓xpanding Direct Admission Partnerships is a really intentional way for us to deepen those relationships and work alongside schools to recognize what their students have accomplished and invest in the next generation of Lawrentians.鈥
麻豆影院 will continue building Direct Admission Partnerships with high schools throughout the Fox Valley, across Wisconsin, and nationally.
