Scholarship Funds
Divine Mercy University is committed to a rich tradition of educating our graduate students in counseling and psychology, integrating the authentic Catholic-Christian view of the human person through theology and philosophy. As the cost of education grows, we are committed to ensuring that our graduates focus on the work of providing Christ-centered healing to their patients rather than being held back by crushing debt. Your support of scholarships is critical to that goal.

Each year, Divine Mercy University offers applicants the opportunity to apply for one or more of the 15 scholarships offered.
These scholarships range in value from $1,000 to $50,000 annually and support applicants based on general need or specific background (veterans, clergy, first responders, and others).
Last year, thanks to the generous support of donors, we provided applicants more than $2 million in scholarships to ensure their ability to pursue their degrees.
Many donors have created memorial scholarship funds to support scholarships at Divine Mercy University while honoring friends or loved ones.
A memorial scholarship fund is a wonderful way to ensure that more students benefit from a degree from DMU while creating a lasting legacy in memory of a loved one.
Another way to support the mission of Divine Mercy University is through establishing an endowed fund. Donors wishing to establish an endowed fund must make a minimum gift or pledge (up to five years) of $50,000.
Endowed funds are a great way to support scholarships and resources in support of DMU that will have a lasting impact.
To honor Bishop Loverde's inspiring legacy and to further support priestly and religious vocations, DMU is establishing a scholarship program in his name. The fund will support priests and religious from across the country who will serve their home dioceses and communities after graduation, as well as students who agree to work in the Diocese of Arlington after graduation.
Our goal is to secure an initial $500,000. Thanks to generous early donors, more than $200,000 has already been secured.
