Investing in a college education is often a major financial decision, and many students need to look beyond their own resources for assistance.
Mercer offers a wealth of merit scholarships, ranging to full tuition. Our Presidential Scholarship Competition is held each fall. Completed applications received prior to November 15 are reviewed for invitation to the event.
Mercer's Office of Student Financial Planning works hard to provide attractive financial aid packages to a large percentage of our students. Financial assistance is available to help pay a student's tuition in addition to other educational expenses. Financial assistance may include scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment.
