Saint Mary's College is a Catholic, residential, women's college in the liberal arts tradition. A pioneer in the education of women, the College is an academic community where women develop their talents and prepare to make a difference in the world. Founded by the Sisters of the Holy Cross in 1844, Saint Mary's promotes a life of intellectual vigor, aesthetic appreciation, religious sensibility, and social responsibility. All members of the College remain faithful to this mission and continually assess their response to the complex needs and challenges of the contemporary world.
These scholarships, named for a specific donor or group, are awarded as part of need-based institutional grant assistance. In most cases, the named scholarship replaces Saint Mary's Grant funding, thus changing the source of the gift assistance, but not the total. These scholarships are awarded by the Financial Aid Office in accordance with the specific requirements of the scholarship donors. Awards are generally restricted to tuition only and are available for a maximum of eight semesters. Funding is renewed for upper class students who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, continue to demonstrate financial need per their annual aid applications and continue to meet any restricted criteria specified by the donor (e.g., pursue a certain major, reside in a specific geographic area). Funding may also be granted to first-year or transfer students who meet the specified criteria at the lowest level, or to any upper class student with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and demonstrated financial need who meets the donor's specifications.
