Our Scholarships
The Marymount Scholars Program, a charitable program within the Marymount Education Foundation, will carry on MCU’s mission of transforming lives through education by awarding college scholarships and a supportive community to freshman and transfer students.
The Marymount Scholars Program will partner with colleges and universities that align with MCU’s tradition and values that are rooted in Catholic higher education, including: a commitment to educating the whole person; a personal, communal, and ethics-based approach to learning; recognition of the harmony of faith and reason; openness to all backgrounds and faiths; importance of integrative knowledge; commitment to the dignity of the individual; and concern for wider issues of justice in society.
The Marymount Scholars program will seek to assist students from lower socio-economic backgrounds in the 2.7-3.3 GPA range by offering financial support, personal attention, and professional mentorship. The mission of the Marymount Scholars program will be to realize higher academic success and graduation rates than the national average for this population of students. Our belief is that academic success for these students can be attained with proper financial, academic, and community support.
