Scholarship Search Tools
Search for Scholarships and Aid
Manhattanville College encourages all of our students to search for funding beyond what is offered in their Financial Aid package. To that end, you’ll find links to a wide variety of searchable scholarship databases and other financial resources below. While this is not an exhaustive list, these sites offer important information to students and families.

GoCollege (http://www.gocollege.com) This valuable tool allows the entry of a student's personal and academic information. Parents and other non-students will be entering information as well. Once entered, the scholarship search engine searches the database, of more than 8,000 funding sources comprised of more than 600,000 individual awards, and selects those matching the student's profile. It provides each funding source's eligibility requirements, due dates, number of awards, award amounts, and contact information. (http://www.gocollege.com/)
