SCHOLARSHIP

There are 106 historically Black colleges and 251 Catholic colleges in the United States, yet only one is both Black and Catholic. That distinction belongs to Xavier University of Louisiana, which strives to combine the best attributes of both its faith and its culture.

Located in New Orleans, the small liberal arts college dates back to 1915, when St. Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament founded the coeducational secondary school from which it evolved. St. Katharine, supported by the interest of a substantial inheritance from her father, banker-financier Francis Drexel, founded and staffed many institutions throughout the U.S. in an effort to help educate Native Americans and Blacks. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in October, 2000. 

The XULA DFW Alumni Chapter was re-established in October 2001.  Founded in collaboration between Xavier University of Louisiana and the local alumni of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, this alumni chapter has worked tirelessly under its mission to promote the interest of Xavier University and to establish mutually beneficial relations between the university and its alumni.
