Spring Arbor, Mich. — Spring Arbor University (SAU) is thrilled to announce Napoleon Community Schools as its newest partner in the university’s Deep Roots Direct Admissions Program.

Napoleon High School seniors who meet the program’s admission requirements will be granted direct admission to Spring Arbor University. Through this initiative, students will have personalized support, scholarship opportunities, and the chance to immerse themselves in the SAU community before starting their collegiate career.


“We’re excited for what this partnership means for our students,” said Kip O’Leary, principal of Napoleon High School. “Through this direct admission program with Spring Arbor University, we’re able to provide our graduates with a clear path to take the steps towards a college degree. This highlights our dedication to the success of our students.”


Marla Sanford, Vice President of Enrollment and Marketing at Spring Arbor University, commented, “We’re proud to partner with Napoleon Community Schools to create a seamless pathway to SAU. It’s exciting to walk alongside students as they prepare for the next chapter of their academic, personal, and spiritual growth.”
This collaboration with Napoleon Community Schools continues to expand SAU’s Deep Roots Direct Admission Program throughout Jackson County.
