    All graduate students are automatically considered for the 10% tuition scholarship at the time of admission into Manhattan University. There is no additional application required to receive this award. This discount will be applied each term as long as the following criteria are met:

    • Must have a 3.0 GPA, or higher, from your undergraduate institution at the time of admission
    • Must remain ‘good’ academic standing to maintain scholarship each semester
    • This scholarship cannot be combined with any other discount - (this is not an exhaustive list but includes and is not limited to graduate assistantship award, graduate education awards, athletic scholarship recipient, stipend, honors scholarship, employee reimbursement, dual degree, seamless and 5th year program students)
    • Awards are not finalized until all official transcripts are received and verified.
    • Admitted non-matric and advanced certificate programs are not eligible

    Scholarships are posted to student accounts on or before the add/drop date each semester.

  • Submit FAFSA

    Don't forget about your FAFSA. It's the key to getting work-study programs and unsubsidized Stafford loans, which have lower interest rates than private loans. Without filling out your FAFSA, you won't be eligible for any of this valuable financial aid. Make sure to fill out your FAFSA before the deadline, so we can determine your financial aid options.
