Manhattanville Advancement Program

What is the Manhattanville Advancement Program (MAP)?

The Manhattanville Advancement Program (MAP) is a scholarship program that provides educational opportunity and support to economically disadvantaged students. The MAP scholarship is a four-year commitment.

Students receive a broad range of services including academic, personal, and career counseling.  Beyond the traditional academic focus of most scholarship programs, MAP encourages the development of the student as a whole — intellectually, ethically and socially. Students are encouraged towards these aims by fostering community service, student leadership development, and goal-oriented self-management.

Eligibility

To qualify for admission into the Manhattanville Advancement Program, a student must:

  • Demonstrate potential for academic success at the College
  • Be economically disadvantaged in accordance with Manhattanville’s economic guidelines

 

The Manhattanville Experience

Entering MAP students are required to attend a fully funded, pre-freshman summer program, which allows them to become acclimated to all aspects of college life.  The program provides an academic foundation for the next four years; students participate in preparatory seminars, workshops, social activities, study groups and individual tutoring.

Financial Aid

MAP students are supported with financial aid for the Pre-Freshman Summer Program and for each academic year of college. This aid consists of Manhattanville Grants, PELL, TAP, and SEOG.  Loans, student contribution, and work-study supplement students’ financial aid packages. 

If you are interested in applying for the scholarship program, please submit a completed Admissions application and completed MAP Interest form by March 1st.
