Denver Newsroom, Apr 23, 2020 / 07:00 pm MT (CNA).- Franciscan University of Steubenville will be covering tuition costs for all incoming freshmen and transfer students in fall 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
President Father Dave Pivonka announced April 21 that the university would cover the remainder of incoming full-time undergraduates’ tuition costs, after scholarships and grants.
“We’ve heard from many students whose concerns over the pandemic are making the decision to leave home for college more difficult. Also, many families and students have seen their ability to pay for college evaporate due to the economic impact of the coronavirus,” Pivonka told CNA.
“We hope this unique response will help them to overcome these obstacles and uncertainties and step out in faith with us.”
Joel Recznik, Franciscan’s vice president for enrollment, told CNA that barring unforeseen circumstances, such as a second wave of the pandemic, the university is anticipating full enrollment and normal university operations in the fall.
The Ohio university uses a rolling admissions process throughout the year, and thus numbers may change as more students apply or enroll throughout the summer, he said.

I drove through Steubenville about 10AM once, and remarked to my wife that I was glad it wasn’t 10PM. Was I wrong to think that?
Cardinal Power Plant not far from there-awesome to see.
Probably not. Thinking of Brian Muha, and his family.
