WHAT SCHOLARSHIPS OR DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE?
Marygrove College is committed to attracting qualified students who will thrive in an academic community. Each Fall semester, Marygrove offers a limited number of competitive scholarships to incoming Freshmen and Transfer students. These scholarships are renewable provided the recipient maintains an acceptable cumulative grade point average as outlined in the scholarship contract a recipient signs each year. Because students may also be eligible for need based financial assistance through the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid, a scholarship candidate must apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
