Ohio university's students ditch smartphones in favor of faith and friends: 'Amazing thing'
Fox News
One college in Ohio, Franciscan University of Steubenville, has a new pilot program in which students set aside their smartphones for four years — and, in return, receive tuition assistance.
"This is really an amazing thing," said Green. People "are meant to have relationships with each other and with God." Franciscan University of Steubenville is hoping to attain partners in this new program. "They're going to change the world." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Over the last year, there's been "a pilot program," she said. "A bunch of alumni got together and said, ‘We're going to offer these scholarships to students who will ditch their smartphones — not for a semester, not for a year, but for the entire four years that they're at Franciscan University.'"
