Current priority
D1 Hockey Scholarships
Division I hockey is a scholarship sport, and the young men who commit are counting on their fans.
Student Emergency Support
A car repair, a lost shift, a bill that arrives in the wrong week. These are what end degrees, far more often than a student’s grades. Emergency support is the fund that lets Maryville answer the need in days instead of semesters.

Become a FounderBuild something with us.
Maryville partners with organizations across St. Louis on talent pipelines, training and sponsorship. When Maryville’s mission aligns with a brand, it is usually an interesting conversation that brings growth and opportunity to our region.
What they began, we carry forward.
Maryville was founded in 1872 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, who opened a school in South St. Louis and kept it open through depressions, wars and moves across the city. More than 150 years later it is still a St. Louis institution, still supported by the families and neighbors who believe in what it does for this region.
The Religious of the Sacred Heart open a school in South St. Louis, teaching local girls at a time when few others would.
Over 9,000 students. More than 90 degrees. 50 states and 56 countries. The third fastest-growing private university in the country.
Each generation leaves something for the next. What we choose to make possible today becomes part of Maryville’s story tomorrow.
There are many ways to move Maryville forward.
Give. Volunteer. Show up. Share what you know. However you choose to participate, there's a place for you in the Maryville community.

“Maryville had a profound impact on both of us, so we wanted to give back and be a part of the continued growth of the university.”
Maryville was the springboard for the Cohens’ burgeoning careers, their close-knit friend group—and their relationship. They launched the Stading-Cohen Scholarship along with their families only a handful of years after graduation. Already, their gifts have made a difference in the academic and personal lives of Maryville students. They both understand on a personal level the difference scholarships can make.
Michelle Cohen, who was drawn to Maryville’s community and academic program was grateful to receive financial assistance from several sources. “Scholarships definitely provided financial security, and allowed me to feel more confident in spending the additional time being a student athlete.”
