Not only will you have the opportunity to learn more about Admission and Financial Aid, but all Open House attendees who are admitted to Merrimack will automatically receive a $1,000 Visit Grant.

5 things you need to know:

  1. We’ve launched three $17,000 degrees in Humanities, Government and Creative Arts and Design that combine career-ready skills, guaranteed co-ops and Merrimack’s signature personalized experience.
  2. Engineers, scientists, teachers and public servants are in demand—and Merrimack is stepping up with guaranteed $20,000 scholarships for new students in these majors.
  3. Generous financial aid and housing scholarships are also awarded for majors including nursing, business and communication.
  4. More than $110 million in scholarships will be awarded and guaranteed for four years (with eligibility).
  5. Costs may be further reduced with federal assistance, including Pell Grants, Direct Loans and State Financial Aid, based on eligibility determined by completing the FAFSA. This can potentially save up to an additional $15,000.
