Students are not eligible to receive more than one scholarship award in a 12-month period for the same scholarship.
Applicants are able to submit one group application for a series of similar scholarships. Several group applications will be available for various categories of scholarships. To support each group application, students will need to submit a typewritten essay and, in most cases, one letter of recommendation from someone who can attest to the applicant's demonstration of the defined Mercy College values.
Scholarship committees generally include faculty representatives, alumni, Mercy medical staff members and friends of the College.
In many cases, documentation of financial need is required using data from the applicant's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For need-based scholarships, a FAFSA must be on file in the financial aid office. For more information, click here.
