Awards & Scholarships

There are a number of grants and scholarships available to help MCNY students pay for college. Scholarships are awarded based on need, merit or a combination of both and do not require repayment. Both fulltime and part-time students are eligible for MCNY scholarships, however part time students receive grants/scholarships pro-rated based on the number of credits for which a student is registered below full time status; Graduate students scholarships are based on $100 of grant/scholarship per credit as of Academic Year 2024-25.

Metropolitan College of New York knows that financing your degree can be a challenge. In light of this, the College has created a number of scholarships that our students are awarded during the admissions process. With the exception of special, endowed or named scholarships/awards, students are eligible for only one [1] scholarship at a time. Scholarships are contingent on:

  • Students maintaining satisfactory academic progress as published in the student handbook and college website.
  • Students must be registered for classes before scholarships/awards may be disbursed.
