Scholarships

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.
