Brady Rickenbaugh, '25, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"The Assisi Scholar program doesn’t just create an Honors student. The leadership and service aspects shape us into people that are committed to helping others. It shows us how to take action, and be of service, and help those around us. It makes us unique. We stand out from our peers, not just in how we carry ourselves, but how we look to top universities. We have the grades and AP scores, but we also possess so many other traits and experiences that make us different. This translated to acceptances at the schools I dreamed of attending, and more scholarship money than I ever imagined."
Daphne McCabe, 24, University of Notre Dame
"The classes I took for the Assisi Scholar Program were challenging, and they have left me very well prepared for classes at Notre Dame and even allowed me to pass out of several of them. The trip to Italy was an incredible experience. Whenever I look back on it, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Roger Bacon was an amazing experience, and I am forever grateful for its impact.”
Keir Adams, '16, University of Chicago '20, PhD M.I.T. 25
The Assisi Program crafts a unique academic environment. I was encouraged to pursue my passions and realize my self-confidence during a time when it’s easy to feel lost. Better yet, it provided me with a platform to share in this transformative process with supportive faculty and inspirational peers who both understood my experience and took pride in my personal growth. But I found that the cleverest quality of the Assisi Scholars Program was its intimate relationship with the entire Roger Bacon education."
Craig McGee, '17, Rose-Hulman College '21
"The aspect of Roger Bacon that I am most grateful for is their willingness to push me to be great. As an Assisi Scholar, attending a school with a 7-point grading scale, and taking over 10 AP or honors level classes there was no time for slacking. I am so grateful for the Roger Bacon education and experience."
