Scholarships
All Applicants Automatically Considered For Scholarships
We believe that scholarships are much more than just money. Scholarships are an investment in you and in your dreams. A graduate degree should be about what you'll accomplish in the future, not how long into the future you'll be paying for school. That’s why Saint Mary's rewards those who exhibit ambition, creativity, strategic insight, intellect, and leadership capabilities on the basis of need or merit. Because each applicant is automatically considered for a scholarship, you are encouraged to apply early.
NOTE: Scholarship applications are integrated with the graduate program application. Scholarships are a one-time offering for the entire course of study.
For questions about these opportunities or how to apply, please contact scholarships@stmarys-ca.edu or call (925) 631-4888.
