Mercy Scholar Program

Mercy Scholars is an extracurricular program for gifted students who are interested in going above and beyond their required coursework. The program requires students to maintain a 3.8 GPA and take a minimum of three AP classes. Scholars have opportunities to explore learning opportunities outside of the classroom, research independent topics they are passionate about, participate in academic competitions outside of Mercy, and present their research at a yearly symposium.

To learn more about Mercy Scholars, please contact Abby Kremer.
