Mercy University International Undergraduate Academic Merit Scholarships

About this scholarship

Mercy University International Undergraduate Academic Merit Scholarships are automatic awards for international students seeking a bachelor's degree at Mercy. The 2026-2027 scholarship page states that all incoming undergraduate international applicants are considered after all application materials are received, and no separate scholarship form is required. Freshman award levels range from the $4,000 Provost Scholarship to the $10,000 Presidential Excellence Scholarship, with intermediate Excellence, Trustees, and Presidential awards. Transfer students with at least 12 transfer credits may be considered for annual awards from $3,000 to $8,000. The scholarships are partial funding because they reduce tuition but do not cover all tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. Mercy also states that there are no scholarships available for international graduate students, so this entry is limited to undergraduate applicants. Awards are renewable each year as long as the student maintains satisfactory academic achievement and good standing under Mercy rules. Scholarship decisions are part of the admission review, making the admission application the student's practical application route for this award family.
