MSMC Need-Based Grants
These institutional grants are awarded on a competitive basis
and may reflect academic excellence, as well as demonstrated
financial need. The level of grant assistance depends upon the
quality of the student’s academic record, the amount of financial
need, the availability of funds, and full-time traditional
enrollment.
Amounts vary based on need and availability of funds and may be
renewed as long as the student continues to demonstrate financial
need and remains in good academic standing. Renewal requires
students to continue to demonstrate financial need, as defined by
the FAFSA each year, and maintain a cumulative grade point average
of 2.0 or better.
Donor Scholarships
Mount Saint Mary College offers a number of private scholarships
each year. There is no additional application needed for
consideration of these awards. The Admissions application and
