21st Century Scholarship Mount Holyoke Leadership Award
As an institution that values the highest levels of academic excellence and the cultivation of women leaders, Mount Holyoke is pleased to offer a limited number of merit scholarships—awarded competitively—to first-year candidates who have an outstanding record of scholarship and co-curricular achievement in high school and who demonstrate noteworthy leadership skills. These scholarships—Mount Holyoke Leadership Awards and 21st Century Scholarships—will be renewed annually, up to a maximum of eight semesters for as long as a student is enrolled full-time and remains in good academic standing. This determination is made through the office of Admission and regardless of financial need.
All applicants to the College will be considered for these awards; no additional application is necessary. These awards are not transferable for study at another institution; however, students who are eligible to study abroad and who need financial assistance are encouraged to apply for a Laurel Fellowship.
Please note that, for matriculated students, credits transferred to the College due to a semester or year of study abroad or academic leave will count toward the eight-semester limit, whether or not financial aid from the College was provided for those credits.
Questions regarding the 21st Century Scholars Program or Leadership Awards should be directed to the Admission office.
