No Application Fee: We do not charge a fee to apply to Merrimack, and there is no waiver needed. It’s just free—simple as that!
Automatic Scholarship Consideration: We will automatically review applications for merit scholarships up to $35,500, renewable annually. Students are notified of merit scholarship awards in their decision letter.
Rolling Admission: In addition to our early decision and early action deadlines, we offer rolling admission from November 16- August 1 to allow more time and flexibility in the application process.
Test Scores Not Required: We do not use test scores in our application review process. Instead, we look closely at transcripts, GPA and other application documents to evaluate college readiness and fit.
