Merit Graduate Scholarships

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

Awards are determined upon acceptance into a graduate program based on the applicant's cumulative GPA from their undergraduate degree granting institution or most recently earned graduate/professional degree. No more than one merit scholarship 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 Public Administration (MPA) Cohort, Greystone Master of Arts: Professional Teaching Certification
3. International applicants
4. Marist students currently enrolled in a 5-year bachelor's/master's degree program

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