Mercer University Merit Scholarships

About this scholarship

Mercer University Merit Scholarships are renewable undergraduate scholarships for students in Mercer's traditional residential undergraduate program. Mercer's official scholarships and aid page states that initial merit scholarships for first-year students typically range from $18,000 to $25,000 per year and that University Merit Scholarships are renewable for four years or eight semesters. The international admissions page states that international students are eligible for merit-based scholarships but are not eligible for state or federal aid. The award is partial funding because it applies to tuition costs unless otherwise indicated and does not cover full tuition, fees, housing, meals, insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. Upon admission to Mercer, students are evaluated for eligibility to receive a merit scholarship. Renewal requires students to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA, enroll full time, and follow program scholarship rules. International applicants should submit the undergraduate application, academic records and course-by-course evaluations when required, English-language proof if applicable, and financial documentation for immigration purposes.
