The first step in receiving financial aid is Applying for Aid. The aid process doesn't end there, however. Read below to follow any steps you may need to do to Accept your Aid.

Plan ahead!

Take advantage of the Expense Worksheet, which shows the direct cost of attending Marquette University, while taking into account your financial aid offer. Log in to CheckMarq and navigate to CheckMarq Student Home > Financial Aid > Accept/Decline Aid > Expense Worksheet.
