The University of Detroit Mercy offers significant merit-based financial awards to international undergraduate students. Incoming freshmen can receive the Detroit Mercy Scholarship, which provides up to $10,000 per academic year based on cumulative high school GPA. Transfer students from accredited institutions are eligible for the Detroit Mercy Grant, valued at up to $9,000 per year depending on their college GPA.
These awards are automatically determined during the admission process and are split evenly over the fall and winter terms.
