Scholarship Benefit and Awards Reception
The University of Mount Saint Vincent held its annual Scholarship Benefit and Awards Reception on May 4, 2026.
The Benefit welcomed community members from near and far to the magnificent 35th floor penthouse of the Mutual of America building at 320 Park Avenue in Manhattan, where sweeping views of the city set the stage for an evening of celebration and purpose.
Year after year, we come together as a united Mount Saint Vincent community in support of the same worthy cause: our talented, dedicated, and deserving student body.
The Benefit united leaders in business, healthcare, education, government, social services, law, and more. Donors, alumnae/i, friends, employees, Sisters of Charity, and student representatives gathered in the heart of Manhattan for an evening of testimony, fundraising, and celebration.
All proceeds raised at the event directly support life-changing scholarships and financial aid awards, ensuring that Mount students have access to the full breadth of academic and co-curricular opportunities available to them. Each year, the University awards over $40 million in scholarships and grants—support made possible through the enduring generosity of its community. This collective investment enables the Mount to continue to provide financial assistance to 100% of its traditional undergraduate and Seton College students, empowering them to move their educational journeys forward and turn their dreams into reality.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of all who supported the 2026 Scholarship Benefit and Awards Reception—whether through sponsorships, journal ads, donations, ticket purchases, or live text-to-give gifts—we are proud to report that this year’s event raised a remarkable total of $485,561.
Thank you to all of our generous supporters who made the 2026 Scholarship Benefit and Awards Reception a resounding success.
