Additional Information

Marywood University offers a comprehensive program of financial aid to assist students in meeting educational costs. Eligibility for federal and state funded programs is based upon demonstrated financial need. In determining financial need, a federal eligibility formula is used to analyze family income and assets. Marywood participates in all established programs of federal/state financial aid, which includes the following: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Direct Loans, and Federal Work-Study Programs. Parents can borrow under the Federal Direct Parent Loan (PLUS) Program. Students who are residents of Pennsylvania can apply for the PHEAA State Grant; residents of other states can apply through their respective State Higher Education Assistance Agency for state grant/scholarship consideration.

In addition, the University also awards scholarships/grants from institutional sources on the basis of academic merit and financial need. Applicants are considered for all financial assistance for which they qualify. Over $31 million in institutional aid is awarded each academic year to Marywood students, and 99 percent of incoming, first-time students receive some type of financial assistance.

Marywood has been an excellent experience. The professors are well-informed and really friendly. They know every student and care about how students do in their class. The small class sizes really allow students to form a personal connection with their professors.
