Information for School Counselors

Fallcampus800x500.jpg

At GMercyU, we strive to make the college search and application process as simple as possible.
We know students look to you as a source of resources and guidance, which is why we want to make sure you have all the information you need to help them navigate the application and financial aid process.

First things first, who are we?

College is about so much more than going to class, making friends, and joining clubs and organizations. It’s about figuring out how you want to live your life.

GMercyU Griffins are students who want to make a difference in their lives and communities and it begins their very first semester. Here, they'll be introduced to our Mercy values and explore the impact they can have on their life and the lives of others. With a special focus on service and social justice, they will hone their ability to reflect on what they're doing and how it can set them up for success in the future.

That's the Griffin Edge.
