We strive to make quality college education accessible and affordable for everyone. We’re here to help here to help you through the financial aid process and find every scholarship, grant and loan available to you. Tuition at Mercyhurst Corry for traditional-age and adult students is 40 percent less than that at Mercyhurst’s Erie campus. Additionally, students are not required to pay as much in fees as at other colleges, resulting in even greater savings.   

Financial Aid

On top of Mercyhurst Corry’s low tuition, institutional, state and federal financial aid or grants may be available for eligible students. Mercyhurst also offers need-based scholarships in addition to any federal or state aid you receive. 

To apply for financial aid, most students will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.ed.gov. You will also need an FSA ID, which you can get here, to sign your FAFSA. Be sure to use the Mercyhurst University school code 003297 when filing your FAFSA to ensure Mercyhurst receives your information.

Mercyhurst Corry is an excellent option for both traditional-age students and adult students. 

Traditional Students

Any individual under 24 years of age is considered a traditional student. Mercyhurst Corry is a great transition from high school to university for students who may not be able to afford to enroll at the Mercyhurst Erie campus, who do not want to enroll full time to start or prefer evening classes.

Adult Students

Any individual over 24 years of age is considered an adult student. Many of our adult students choose to go back to school to prepare to enter the job market, to qualify for career advancement, to expand knowledge in a professional field, or to achieve personal goals.

Earning an associate degree or certificate at the Corry Campus will open up immediate career opportunities for you. But it is also a great first step to pursuing a bachelor’s or other advanced degree. Many students choose to spend a few semesters at the Corry Campus to improve their academic records before transferring to Mercyhurst’s Main Campus to build on that foundation. 

You will earn college credits in our degree and certificate programs that will transfer with you when the time comes. If you’d like to continue on at Mercyhurst’s Main Campus, you’ll be eligible for generous internal transfer scholarships and you can earn a bachelor’s in as little as two additional years.
