Scholarships and Aid
Learn More About the Many Financial Aid Options Available to New Students
Your college education is an important investment in you and your future.
At Marymount University, we partner with you and help make your undergraduate degree is as affordable and accessible as possible. For many of our newly admitted students, merit scholarship opportunities are an ideal way to make their degree more cost effective, and unlike other financial aid options—including federal loans—merit student scholarships are funds that do not need to be paid back.
Marymount University offers scholarship opportunities for newly admitted students based on several factors, including:
- Academic interests
- Grades
- Leadership experience
- Full-time enrollment or transfer status
Feel free to use our Net Price Calculator, which is designed to help you estimate your financial aid options. Many of the following funding options do require scholarship applications, and at Marymount University, our admissions and financial aid team is ready to help you go from prospective student to a professional with purpose.
