Marian Court recognizes the needs of each of our students, financially as well as academically.

That's why we work with our students to help design a financial program that best fits their needs. In fact, nearly 90 percent of Marian Court students currently receive some sort of financial assistance which may come in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and college work-study programs.

Applying for Financial Aid - New and Returning Students

Students who wish to be considered for financial aid need to submit the following items:

1. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Complete the paper version (available at the college or high school guidance offices), or the on-line FAFSA on the Web, which is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  In Section Six (either version), you must list Marian Court College’s school code: 006873, so that Marian Court will receive the results.
2. Marian Court College Financial Aid Application.  Need a copy? Contact the Financial Aid Office.
3. Signed copy of student federal tax return. 
4. Signed copy of parents’ federal tax return (if parent information is required on the FAFSA).

Financial Aid application packets containing this information are mailed out to admissions applicants starting January 1st of each year.  Returning students have application packets placed in their student mailboxes prior to the end of fall semester. Additional packets or individual forms are always available upon request.

Once all the required items have been received, an award letter will be mailed.  Incoming freshmen will be awarded on a rolling basis, beginning April 1. Returning students will begin receiving award letters after June 1.
