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.

First-Year Student Academic Scholarships

First-year students who hold full-time enrollment status are automatically offered the highest scholarship they qualify for shortly after admission.

Academic scholarships are renewable for up to four years of study if you maintain full-time enrollment and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. The following student scholarships are based on annual amounts and are allocated equally during fall and spring semesters.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Student Scholarships

Recently, Marymount University received a $1.46 million Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) grant from the National Science Foundation.

This funding is part of our new financial assistance initiative, the STEM scholars program, and awards of up to $10,000 per year are available to Marymount University undergraduates who demonstrate financial need and academic potential in their chosen STEM field.

Transfer Academic Scholarships

Are you choosing to come to Marymount University from a community college or another four-year institution? Transfer students who are pursuing full-time enrollment at Marymount are automatically offered the highest merit scholarship available at the time of admission.
