Accordingly, the School is providing a program to encourage new incoming Business Graduate students, who have performed well academically in their undergraduate programs, with scholarships for the 2026 – 2027 academic year. 

    Applicants to each of the Graduate Business Programs will be automatically considered for one of two scholarship awards when they apply for admission to start in the 2026 – 2027 academic year and then begin their studies in that year.

    $4,000.00 Undergraduate Degree cumulative GPA: 3.00 – 3.49* 
    *The GPA used for this purpose will be the GPA the student earned from the institution that conferred their undergraduate degree and converted to the U.S. 4.00 scale.  

    There is a limited amount of scholarship money available for the 2026 – 2027 academic year and scholarships will only be awarded while scholarship monies are still available.
     
    Scholarship Application Process: There is no separate application required. Applicants are automatically considered for scholarships upon admission to the program.

    • This scholarship cannot be combined with any other scholarship, grant, or discount program from Mercy University.

    • Students will be notified via email from the School of Business if selected.
    • The student must register for at least six credits each term, with the summer term as optional for enrollment.
