Moreau Pathway Program

The Moreau Pathway Program is a non-binding Direct Admissions program that proactively admits students at the start of their senior year to help alleviate complexity and anxiety when applying for college. This expedited application streamlines the admission process and provides eligible students guaranteed admission to University of Portland.

Immediate tangible benefit to the students:

• Guaranteed admission to the upcoming Fall 2026 first-year class
• Guaranteed scholarship, in recognition of academic talents and the rigors of secondary Catholic education: $20,500 per student (minimum). Renewable each year for four academic years at UP; this would be stackable on top of any additional aid such as federal and state grants and University-based aid.
• Direct entry to degree program of choice*
• Guaranteed spot at Weekend on The Bluff
• Early Access to housing selection and earlier consideration for University Honors selection
• Acceptance through the Moreau Pathway Program is non-binding

*Nursing requires all incoming new students to have taken Chemistry as a pre-requisite for admission
