Elevate Award 2026
Mount Mercy University and Z102.9 FM are teaming up to recognize Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor student leaders who elevate their community through service and leadership. Each week, a student will be recognized based on nominations from high school counselors like you to receive the Mount Mercy University “Elevate Award” for service and leadership within the community.
Recipients of the “Elevate Award” will receive a gift bag that can be picked up by visiting the Admissions Office on campus in the University Center and a $500 Elevate Scholarship upon enrolling at Mount Mercy University.
Mercy Leadership Program
The Elevate Award is inspired by the Mercy Leadership Program. This program, started in 2024, promotes leadership in all aspects of your life—your academic experience, your community, and your chosen career path.
