The total amount of financial aid distributed each year is based upon the availability of funds and the number of qualified applicants. The average award amount for 2023-24 school year was approximately $5,600.

Incoming Freshman, please complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Application, Mercy application and materials by December 13, 2024 to ensure receipt of award information with acceptance letter in January. Deadline thereafter and for current returning students is March 3, 2025.
