Scholarships & Grants

Manhattanville has a long history of rewarding students of high academic achievement regardless of their financial need. We also are committed to making it possible for students of limited financial resources to attend the college. Each applicant is automatically evaluated for merit awards and no additional application is needed for consideration.

Annual renewal of all scholarships is based on 1) Maintaining a minimum grade point average and 2) Attending each semester on a full time basis (12 credits).

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.
