Student Spotlight
Aaliyah Mendoza, Nursing Student
“Felician offered me tremendous help financially with scholarships and financial aid payment plans. It also prepared me to land my dream job as a Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse at New York Presbyterian Hospital, which I will begin after graduation. I loved my Felician experience so much, I’m planning to return to pursue my master’s degree.”
Franciscan Values
Founded in 1942 by the Felician Sisters, Felician University is one of the few Franciscan universities in the country, and the only one in New Jersey. We’ve built our reputation with an emphasis on service and respect for humanity, as was the dream of Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska – the foundress of the Felician Sisters more than a century ago. Even today, we strive to represent those values in everything we do.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that shook our nation and killed 2,977 people. We vow never to forget the victims, their families who were left with a lifetime of sorrow, and the heroes who risked their lives to save their fellow Americans.
Students at Felician University can walk to the 9/11 Memorial Park in East Rutherford, which features a piece of structured steel from the World Trade Center, or travel by bus or train to New York City’s 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
Today and every day, we are proud to be Americans. 🇺🇸
