College Scholarships
Scholarships are awards granted to students to help pay for academic pursuits beyond high school. Each scholarship has its own application criterion and process, deadline, and selection committee or path. Scholarships are gifts to the selected students, and are not intended to be paid back to the gifting agencies.
Every college and university governs its own scholarship programs. Interested students must reach out directly to target institutions, though the Marian Counseling Department and Athletic Department, if applicable, are happy to guide and assist students in this process.
Likewise, the Marian Counseling Department seeks to aid students in discovering applicable scholarships but does not assume responsibility for the scholarship process. Each student must govern his or her own scholarship application process and is ultimately responsible for this important task.
