Scholarships

Mercy Center Auburn is committed to offering financial assistance to those who need it.

We are honored to support individuals whose financial situation currently prevents them from attending retreats sponsored by Mercy Center Auburn (MCA).

Our funds come from generous donors who believe in our retreat center’s mission.

If your financial situation prevents you from attending one of our retreats, we strongly and openly encourage you to apply for financial assistance.
 
Each request for financial assistance is assessed in terms of financial need and the availability of funding.

Online Application Form:

Applications must be submitted at least 30 days before the retreat start date.
