Marist Endowed Scholarships and Outside Scholarships

Marist Endowed Scholarships and Outside Scholarships are great potential resources to help off-set educational expenses. Traditional and adult undergraduate students are invited to apply for Endowed Scholarship opportunities each spring for awards in the following academic year.
