Traditional undergraduate students who first enrolled at 蜜月直播 in Fall 2018 or later are eligible for a summer discount of $750 per three-credit course (up to $1,500) to be applied to the tuition charges. This discount allows students to take summer session classes at a significant discount. Please note: Students are only eligible for the summer discount if there is no discounts to the published undergraduate per credit tuition charge.

Marist students enroll in summer session courses for a variety of reasons, including to create room for additional internships, research, or travel opportunities. Many will use these courses to earn credit toward their degree while working, while others get ahead with credits to graduate early. All summer session classes are taught by Marist professors and are offered 100% online.

This discount is available starting in the summer after the first year at Marist and may be renewed annually, provided you maintain full-time enrollment, until graduation. The award may not be used during traditional semesters (fall and spring). It also cannot be applied toward non-Marist courses or graduate-level study. Students do not need to enroll each summer to be eligible for subsequent years; however, if the funds are not utilized in a given summer, they are forfeited and cannot be applied to any prior or future course.

Need-Based Grants

Need-based Aid

In order to qualify for need-based aid, you must demonstrate that without financial assistance, you could not afford to attend Marist. Marist determines your "need" by evaluating the information you provide when you complete the financial aid forms. (The formula used is: Cost of Attendance minus Student Aid Index minus Other Financial Assistance equals Need). Need-based programs include grants, certain loans, and student employment.

In order for the Marist Grant-In-Aid to be renewed, the student must demonstrate financial need, be registered full time, and maintain satisfactory academic progress both on the Qualitative and Quantitative measurement (2.0 cumulative GPA & Attempted vs. Earned Credits).

  • If eligible, the award is given for up to four years of full time undergraduate studies at Marist.
  • The non-renewable Marist Grant-In-Aid is awarded only to full-time students for the current academic year. This grant is not guaranteed each year and is based upon financial need, which could change each year.
  • The non-renewable grant is awarded to students on the basis of good academic performance, financial need, other financial aid resources available to students, and the funds available for the grant program.
  • Payment of the award is made in two equal payments in the fall and spring, unless otherwise noted. The amount will be directly applied to the student's account upon verifying the student's full-time enrollment for the term in question and the fact that the student has maintained the necessary academic index.

Federal Pell Grant Program

The Federal Pell Grant program is a federal aid program that provides financial assistance to students otherwise unable to afford an undergraduate education. Pell grants provide a foundation of Financial Aid to which other aid may be added.

The government currently states that in order to qualify for a Federal Pell Grant the citizen or eligible non-citizen must be either enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an accredited college and must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress both on a Qualitative and Quantitative measurement (2.0 cumulative GPA & Attempted vs. Earned Credits). To find out if you qualify for Pell you must file the .

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need--that is, students with the lowest Student Aid Indexes (SAIs)--and who also qualify to receive Federal Pell Grants. Students must also maintain satisfactory academic progress both on the Qualitative and Quantitative measurement (2.0 cumulative GPA & Attempted vs. Earned Credits)

What is the difference between the Pell and the FSEOG?

The U.S. Department of Education guarantees that each participating school will receive enough money to pay the Federal Pell Grants of its eligible students. There's no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive an FSEOG; students at each school may be awarded an FSEOG based on the availability of funds at that school.

Federal Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant (TEACH)

A provides up to $4,000 per year in grants for students who complete the FAFSA and meet the eligibility requirements for federal student aid.  Students must also intend to teach in a full-time, high need subject area for a minimum of four years at schools that serve students from low-income students and complete those four years of teaching within eight years of completing the program. 

The conditions for receiving a TEACH Grant are as follows:

  1. You must complete the FASFA, although you do not have to demonstrate financial need.
  2. Graduation from high school with a 3.25 GPA or higher or scoring above the 75th percentile on a college admission test.
  3. Majoring in a program of study designated as a high-need subject area (Bilingual Education, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Reading Specialist, Science, or Special Education). 

Please note that if you are unable to complete this teaching obligation within eight years, the grant will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest accruing from the date the grant funds were first disbursed.
