Special Scholarship Opportunities

Designed for rising high school sophomores and juniors, Mercer University's Certificate of Achievement and Service Excellence (CASE) program seeks to identify students who embody Mercer's commitment to research and service.

To be a CASE Scholar, students must hold a 3.5 GPA or higher, demonstrate continued involvement in service during high school, and be nominated for the program by a school counselor or teacher. Eligible nominees will then be invited to apply to the program by the Office of University Admissions. Scholars will be awarded the Certificate of Achievement and Service Excellence along with a $500 scholarship, contingent upon their acceptance and matriculation to Mercer University.

As a strong supporter of science, engineering, and technology, Mercer University has established a scholarship fund to recognize students participating on a FIRST competing team during their junior or senior year of high school. Students selected as FIRST Scholars are eligible to receive a $3,000 non-renewable scholarship.

The Griffith Scholars Program, established by Macon native Benjy Griffith, is an investment in local students, Mercer University, and the Macon community. The Griffith Scholarship covers the remaining balance of Mercer's annual tuition, fees, room, and board after all other scholarships and grants have been applied.

Current Georgia REACH Scholars are eligible to apply for Mercer's REACH Scholarship. A select group of students will receive $5,000 in addition to their existing REACH scholarship from the state of Georgia.

Mercer is proud to be among an elite group of universities that offer the Stamps Scholars Program. Through this program, the University seeks to identify the most outstanding students in the incoming class and recognize them for their exceptional academic achievement, demonstrated commitment to leadership, and passion for making a positive impact win the lives of others.
