Graduate Scholarships and Financial Aid

The Dean Scholarship is available for students in eligible programs* who are not receiving fellowships. These generous scholarships will be applied toward tuition expenses. Please note:

• Dean Scholarships are determined by considering academic merit and financial need.
• Receipt of the Dean Scholarship does not create an employment relationship with Merrimack and does not include any wages or monetary remuneration besides the scholarship, which is applied directly towards tuition.
• Students enrolling in eligible programs who are not receiving an assistantship or fellowship position are considered for a Dean scholarship.
• A separate application is not required.
• Notification of scholarship awards is done at the time of notification of admittance.
• If you are offered and accept an assistantship or fellowship position, you will not be eligible for any other discounts or scholarships, including a merit-based Dean scholarship or the Double Warrior alumni scholarship.
• If you are originally awarded a scholarship and then are given an assistantship fellowship placement, you will no longer receive the merit scholarship. The fellowship award will replace any other discounts.
