Goal #2: Invest in Student Success
Your generosity will transform lives.
Scholarships fulfill Gwynedd Mercy University's commitment to providing a culture of inclusivity where every student, regardless of financial position, can thrive and develop into a leader with compassion and strong moral values.
Endowed Scholarships
- Establish a permanent source of annually renewable financial aid for students
- Recognize your philanthropic interests as we work together to establish preferred scholarship recipient characteristics, such as major and GPA
- Allow you to choose who the scholarship honors (it can be in someone's memory) and whether you wish to be recognized publicly or anonymously for your contribution
- Offer other family members or friends a way to contribute to the fund, creating a lasting legacy that honors your special relationship with Gwynedd Mercy University.
- Share an annual scholarship report so you can see the impact of your gift
- Honor your contribution with annual recognition in the President’s Report and in other leadership donor programs and communications
- Strengthen the university’s long-term financial stability by creating a reliable, renewable source of funding
Scholarship [funding] offers me not only the necessary financial support but the opportunity to focus on my coursework and develop the skills needed for my future career without worrying about how I will pay for it.
