Tuition Exchange

Prospective students who currently have a parent or guardian working in a higher education setting may be eligible for tuition benefits. Applicants must fill out the proper paperwork from their parent or guardian's respective college or university and submit it to Mercyhurst College's Office of the Vice President. Awarding of the tuition exchange scholarship is a competitive process with standards similar to the Egan academic scholarship and is evaluated by an administrative panel. The number of incoming students awarded tuition exchange will be dependent upon the colleges outgoing recipients of tuition exchange.
