At Mercy University, preparing the next generation of teachers goes beyond the classroom. It means creating a sustainable pipeline of educators who have the preparation, experience and support to make an impact in their communities from day one.

The Suzanne McGraw Scholars Program is helping bring that vision to life. Launched this year through a historic $9.3 million gift from the Suzanne McGraw Foundation—the largest philanthropic investment in Mercy’s history—the program removes financial and experiential barriers by providing full tuition funding and paid classroom experience.
