Saint Martin's University in Lacey partners with high schools to open higher education doors with new and easy direct admissions

LACEY, Wash. - Saint Martin’s University launched an exciting new program that makes attending college in Washington more than just a dream for many high school students. The Catholic Benedictine university in Lacey “believes all students have the right to a transformative and affordable education” and that’s just one reason the institution initiated the Direct Admission Partnership program. The program directly admits qualified students in partner high schools to Saint Martin’s without a formal college application.
