Marist Announces Four New Graduate Scholarship Awards!

Starting in the spring semester of 2009, Marist is making available four scholarship programs for students accepted into any graduate degree program or certificate.

Merit Graduate Scholarships

Merit awards are made at the discretion of the scholarship committee. General eligibility requirements for a scholarship do not guarantee admission.

The Scholarship committee reviews applicant's cumulative GPA from their undergraduate degree granting institution or most recently earned graduate/professional degree.

Students will automatically be considered for a Merit Scholarship upon acceptance to Marist College. No more than one merit award will be awarded to each student.

Award recipients must maintain at 3.0 GPA and maintain good academic standing in their program to remain eligible. The Award cannot be used toward undergraduate level courses or courses taken at other institutions.

Financial need is not required to be eligible for merit scholarships.

Applicants classified in any of the following categories may not be eligible:

1. Receiving other scholarship assistance through Marist College
2. Participating in the following programs: the Master of Education (M.Ed), Master of Science in Technology Management, Master of Public Administration (MPA) Cohort, Greystone Master of Arts in Educational Psychology
3. International applicants
4. Marist students currently enrolled in a 5-year or graduate program

Scholarship amounts apply to new graduate students entering Marist College beginning in the Spring 2009 semester.
