“In the Midtown Scholarship Program we are a like a big family. We keep each other on track with our exams and assignments, and encourage each other all of the time.”

Midtown Scholarship Program

For nearly 100 years, Mount Mary College has been helping women discover their talents, strengths, career paths and personal interests. Inspired by a commitment to educate women, the College is proud to offer the Midtown Scholarship Program.

The Midtown Scholarship Program offers young women of Milwaukee academic, personal, and financial support as they pursue their degree at Mount Mary. The Midtown Scholarship award guarantees that an eligible student's federal, state, and Mount Mary gift assistance cover between 70 and 85 percent of tuition costs.

Due to the generous award and the academic requirements, the selection process is very competitive. Each year, only 50 students are selected to be part of the Midtown Scholarship Program. In addition to having up to 85 percent of tuition costs covered, recipients also may qualify for a Residential Grant if they choose to live on campus.

Accepted Midtown Scholarship Program students attend a mandatory six week Summer Bridge Program beginning in June. This summer program helps students develop their skills for success in and outside of the classroom and helps them transition to college.
