Marist College and Presidential Scholarships
The Marist College Award Committee presents a limited number of
four-year renewable scholarships to selected incoming freshmen and
transfer students who have demonstrated excellence in academic
achievement. Only one scholarship is offered per student.
Students who possess a good academic record may qualify for a
Marist College or Presidential Scholarship on a four-year renewable
basis. Each student who is eligible can receive one scholarship at
Marist College.
The scholarships are renewable each semester provided the
recipient maintains the necessary cumulative index. New
students at Marist are given their initial term as a grace
period to achieve the necessary academic index.
- The average awards range from $4000 to $12,000.
- These awards are given on the basis of scholarship and high school
achievement, and the funds available for the scholarship program.
- The renewable award is given for four years of full-time
undergraduate studies at Marist College; the award will be automatically
renewed each year provided that the recipient has maintained the
necessary academic index and full-time enrollment status. The award is
lost only for the term(s) during which the above two conditions do not
exist unless the student withdraws or is dismissed from Marist College
at a later date. The necessary grade point average is 2.850.
- It is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of Student Financial Services
to reinstate a scholarship.
- Payment of the award is made in two equal payments, in the Fall and
in the Spring, unless otherwise noted. The amount will be directly
applied to the student's account upon verifying the student's full-time
enrollment for the term in question and the fact that the student has
maintained the necessary cumulative grade point average.
