Mount St. Mary's University: Faithful and Affordable!

The Mount continues its commitment to making college affordable for students and their families. In addition to need-based aid, the university awards numerous academic scholarships, ranging from $5,000 to full tuition. (Admissions applications are automatically reviewed for these merit awards.) Our Admissions Committee makes its decisions without reference to any application for aid.

Financial Aid Facts:

• All admitted freshmen students are guaranteed merit-based aid in the form of Academic Scholarships.

• To be considered for need-based aid, applicants must complete the appropriate Financial Aid Forms.

• Last year we supported 98% of Mount families with financial aid.  100% of the class of 2015 received a merit scholarship.

• 97% of our alumni are employed or in graduate school one year after leaving the Mount.
