Mount Mary offers several scholarships to all students that are awarded based on academic excellence and outstanding ability. In addition, the Social Work Program has two that are dedicated specifically to Social Work students thanks to the generosity of alumnae and friends of the program. The Cassandra Scott Kelly Memorial Scholarship is designated primarily for minority students, but may be awarded to other qualified candidates. Clarone Z.
