Financial Aid – Scholarships

 

Maryville University is committed to making a top-ranked, private education affordable and accessible. Last year, over $59 million in financial aid was distributed to full time traditional, undergraduates last year. 98% of our full-time, traditional undergraduate students receive aid. Both merit-based and need-based assistance is available as part of the schools scholarship program.

There are many scholarships sponsored by companies, fraternal organizations, churches, professional groups and employment affiliates. Spend some time researching potential funding sources through links in the Financial Aid menu or direct access at:
