Institutional Awards

Scholarship Criteria

MSMC scholarships are awarded to first-time freshmen, are competitive, and may be applied to undergraduate tuition only. Consideration for these awards is based on high school GPA. To be considered for one of these awards, a student must be accepted for full-time enrollment in the traditional undergraduate program at Mount Saint Mary College. Scholarships must be awarded prior to the first day of classes; no changes will be made to scholarships after this point. Students who are not filing a FAFSA must email sfs@msmc.edu to notify our office of this intention so that we can waive the FAFSA and apply your funds. Mount Saint Mary College does not award athletic grants of any kind.

MSMC Dominican Heritage, Achievement, Dean's, Founders, Distinguished Scholar scholarships and Presidential Scholarships

These scholarships are academic awards ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per year.

GPA will be checked for the 2.0 threshold after four academic semesters as well as the end of each spring semester thereafter.

Mount Saint Mary College recognizes the achievements of students who have already demonstrated success at another college and who wish to continue their education here at the Mount.
