Mercy College Scholarships are awarded primarily based on superior academic performance, demonstrated financial need, and the student's potential contribution to the intellectual life of the College. In addition to applying for the following scholarships, the FAFSA should be filed by April 1. These scholarships are generally available to new incoming freshmen, transfer students and continuing students.
