Madonna University Merit Scholarships
Successful fundraising, a substantial endowment, and the generosity of many benefactors help us remain one of the most affordable private, Catholic universities in the nation. We award more than $1.6 million in institutional aid annually to our students. All scholarships are renewable for up to two years for new, full-time, and transfer students. Some scholarship arrangements can be made beyond two years. The Scholarship and Financial Aid Opportunities brochure is available through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
