In most cases, there will be no change in your financial aid package with this award. Students with high merit awards plus additional institutional awards, such as for athletics, leadership, etc. may have their overall package adjusted to avoid over-awarding of Title IV aid according to federal regulations. The overall value of your total aid package, which includes this award, will not be decreased.
No, students are eligible whether they live on or off campus.
Any student who is admitted for Fall 2021 and will be attending classes in the United States may enter. Those receiving tuition waivers, including faculty, staff, and family members are ineligible.

The COVID-19 vaccine is broadly available at doctor's office, clinics and retail pharmacies. Meijer, CVS, Walgreen's, and Rite-Aid pharmacies all provide COVID-19 vaccinations, and many locations are providing the vaccine with no appointment required. We also are planning for one or more vaccination clinic days at the Madonna University Campus Health Center in the coming months.

No. The U.S. government is providing the COVID-19 vaccine free of charge to all people living in the United States, regardless of their immigration or health insurance status. As a vaccine recipient, you cannot be charged for the COVID-19 vaccine. If you do have health insurance, the provider may charge your insurance an administrative fee, but there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you.
No, but it is strongly encouraged, and the University will follow different protocols for those who are vaccinated and those who are not, to help ensure the safety of all members of the University community.
