Academic scholarships up to $20,000 per year are available to incoming, first-year full-time undergraduate students. If you choose not to submit your ACT or SAT test score for admission, we will use your high school GPA to determine which academic scholarship you will be awarded. You can use the chart below to see which academic scholarship you are eligible for.

If you feel that your ACT or SAT score will make you a stronger applicant to Mount Mary, you have the option to submit a test score as part of your application. You can use the chart below to see which academic scholarship you would be eligible for should you submit your score.
