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.
