Marquette offers a wide variety of merit scholarships that support the university's mission while recognizing student achievement — excellence in and out of the classroom, commitment to community service and demonstrated leadership. A scholarship is a form of gift assistance that does not have to be repaid. Marquette and private organizations award scholarships on a competitive basis to students who enroll full time in an eligible college.

Financial aid

Scholarships are one component of a student financial aid package. For optimum financial aid consideration, be sure to file the FAFSA (fafsa.ed.gov). We STRONGLY recommend completing the FAFSA and submitting it to the federal processor (with income estimates if necessary) by January 15 for consideration of all financial assistance.
