How do I become an 
Emerging Leader?


In order to become a member of the Emerging Leaders Academy, you must first apply and be accepted to the University of Mary. This involves completing application and recommendation forms and submitting transcripts, and ACT or SAT scores. If you need an application form or have any questions, call the Office of Admissions at 1 (800) 288-6279 or (701) 355-8030, or click here for an online application.

To be considered for selection into the Emerging Leaders Academy, a student must have:

  1. A minimum of 3.25 GPA, or
  2. A 24 or higher ACT score, and
  3. Active involvement in church, community, and high school

Students meeting these qualifications will be sent an Emerging Leaders Academy application. This form provides us with information on your high school grade point average, ACT or SAT test scores, and your area of interest. You will also be asked for a summary of your school and community activities and a letter of recommendation that attests to your leadership qualities. An online ELA application can be found by clicking here, ELA application
