Manhattanville Advancement Program (MAP)

The Manhattanville Advancement Program (MAP) is a scholarship program that provides educational opportunity and support to economically disadvantaged students. The MAP scholarship is a four-year commitment.

Students receive a broad range of services including academic, personal, and career counseling. Beyond the traditional academic focus of most scholarship programs, MAP encourages the development of the student as a whole— intellectually, ethically and socially. Students are encouraged towards these aims by fostering community service, student leadership development, and goal-oriented self-management. Students must comply with the following program requirements in order to maintain their MAP status.

Program Requirements:

  • Complete all courses and achieve a minimum 2.8 GPA during the residential Pre-Freshman Summer Program. Continuing at Manhattanville College is contingent upon completion of the residential summer program for incoming MAP students.
