Scholarships

At Benedictine University at Mesa, we promise our students an education that is affordable. We work with students and their families to exhaust all possible means of financial aid, including federal loans, need-based grants, academic scholarships and work-study options. Student learning and success is our first priority. That's our promise to our students.

Institutional Awards

Please Note:

• Full-time enrollment is defined as 12 or more semester credit hours per term.
• Scholarships are limited to a maximum of four years or eight terms of institutional awards. Awards will be finalized after submission of seventh semester/quarter grades; no revisions to merit awards will be made after the seventh semester/quarter.
• Student financial aid programs, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice or obligation.
• The Presidential Award, St. Benedict Award and Benedictine Heritage Award are mutually exclusive and may not be combined.
• Institutional awards are applicable to the cost of tuition only during the fall and spring semesters.

Chamber and DMA Discount

Employees, spouses and dependent children of Mesa Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Mesa Association members are eligible to receive a twenty-five percent (25%) tuition discount at Benedictine University at Mesa and online.

This discount may not be combined with other prearranged student tuition discounts, such as institutional awards and is not eligible for students in the 10K MBA program. Students who qualify for this discount through both agencies are eligible for only one 25 percent discount.

Students must verify every academic year (June through May) that they are, or their employer is, a Mesa Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Mesa Association member (via form below).

The Mesa Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Mesa Association Tuition Discount eligibility ceases for a student on the date when the eligible member is no longer employed by a Mesa Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Mesa Association member. If the member changes eligibility status during a term in which a tuition discount has been applied, the amount of the tuition discount will be prorated.

It is the responsibility of the employer to notify Benedictine University at Mesa of any employment changes.

Mesa Partnership Scholarship

New freshman and transfer students at the Benedictine University at Mesa campus may be eligible for the Mesa Partnership Scholarship to help with tuition costs. The partnership is a result of a joint effort to provide higher education opportunities to the greater East Valley.

The $3,000 annual scholarship is for dependents of City of Mesa employees. The scholarship is renewable if students maintain good academic standing. It can be combined with the Benedictine Heritage and St. Benedict Award scholarships, but cannot be awarded in conjunction with Benedictine’s Catholic High School award.
