Talent is demonstrated through evaluation of an art portfolio or music audition. Review dates for evaluation are included on the department web pages. Recipients of a Talent Award must plan to major in one of these areas at Marywood. Once awarded, they are renewable for up to eight semesters of full-time undergraduate study.

Marywood University strives to include men each year as funds permit.)

Each funded institution is responsible for selection of recipients and scholarship administration according to the Foundation's guidelines.

Interested applicants should contact Marywood University's Coordinator of Prior Learning and Assessment via email at loriorr@marywood.edu.

Mr. and Mrs. Stabler recognized the importance of education. They were uniquely aware of the fact that many young men and women might not be able to attain the benefits of higher education without financial assistance. The Stablers also believed that the recipients of financial assistance should recognize an obligation and be encouraged to return that which they receive so that others, in turn, may be advantaged by similar assistance.

Grants

Marywood University awards grant funding from a variety of sources including funds from the federal government, funds from PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency), and institutional funds from Marywood.

Students do not need to apply separately for grants. You are considered automatically based on the information you submit when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

For information about federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education, visit studentaid.gov.

Pell is a federal grant administered by the Financial Aid Office. It is awarded to undergraduate students who have not yet earned a bachelor's or professional degree. The current maximum award effective with the 2024-25 academic year is $7,395. You may receive $7,395 or less, depending on your need and your enrollment. For example, you will receive less as a part-time student than you will as a full-time student.

Important 

The maximum number of years a student may receive a Federal Pell Grant is the "equivalent of six years." Please visit Federal Student Aid: Pell Grants for information on how to calculate the "equivalent of six years."

This is a grant for undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. Students must also be eligible for Pell, but not every student receiving Pell will receive FSEOG. Awards are given to the students who demonstrate the most need, according to the availability of funding. The average FSEOG award is equivalent to $1,000 per academic year, and is available to both full-time and part-time students.

The Pennsylvania State Grant Program is the primary state grant program administered at Marywood. Award levels and eligibility criteria are controlled by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Generally, state grants are awarded on the basis of need and limited to undergraduate students attending schools within the state of Pennsylvania. Some states, such as Delaware and Maryland, have reciprocity (interchangeable) agreements with Pennsylvania. For information about your state's reciprocity agreements, contact your state agency.

For the 2024-25 academic year, the maximum PA State Grant award amount is $5,750. This amount may vary depending on the student's level of financial need and enrollment status.

Marywood Liguori Grants are awarded based on financial need as determined by information found on the FAFSA. They may be adjusted annually based on a student's/family's financial situation. Students must file a FAFSA in order to be considered for a Liguori Grant for a given academic year. Grants do not have to be repaid.

Loans

Interest Rates for Direct Loans First Disbursed on or After July 1, 2024, and before July 1, 2025. 

Loan Type Borrower Type Fixed Interest Rate
Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans Undergraduate 6.53%
Direct Unsubsidized Loans Graduate or Professional 8.08%
Direct Plus Loans Parents and Graduate or Professional 9.08%

Resolving Loan Disputes and Problems

The SFA Ombudsman's Office has been created by the U.S. Department of Education to help student loan borrowers resolve loan disputes and problems.

Students or parents can borrow a private loan from a variety of private educational loan lenders. Students applying for a loan will likely need a credit-worthy co-signer, such as a parent, in order to pass the credit check. Interest rates and repayment options vary based on the lender, the type of loan, and the borrower’s credit.

A FAFSA is not required to borrow a private loan.

Application Process:

  • Visit elmselect.com for a historical list of lenders to start your search process.
  • Once you find the loan lender you’re interested in, your lender will ask you to fill out the Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification Form. The Financial Aid Office can assist you with filling out this form upon request.
  • The loan company, bank, or credit union will review the borrower and co-signer’s (if applicable) credit history to determine eligibility.
  • Once the loan has been approved by the loan lender, Marywood will receive a notification of the borrower’s information and loan request. The loan request must be certified by the Marywood Financial Aid Office and submitted back to the loan lender.
  • The loan lender will establish the date that the loan funds will be disbursed to the school.
  • Once the funds are received by Marywood, the loan will be added to the student’s account to pay any outstanding charges.
  • If there are remaining funds available after the authorized charges are paid, a refund will be made available to the student. The student may request this refund from the Student Accounts Office.
  • Because a credit decision only lasts for 90-120 days, we recommend borrowing enough of a loan for both the Fall and Spring semesters in order to avoid more than one credit check in a given academic year. Typically, a student enrolled in the same number of credits each term will have a similar bill (unless the student is switching programs), which should help you estimate the total loan amount.

The Federal Direct Loan is a long-term, low-interest loan that is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid. The lender is the U.S. Department of Education. This loan is not based upon your credit history or income. The amount you may receive for the academic year is based on your financial need and academic level and is determined by the Office of Financial Aid.

Repayment of the principal begins 6 months after you cease half-time enrollment, and the average repayment term is 10 years.

Interest Rates

Current interest rates on all Federal Direct Loans are fixed.

Loan Type Grade Level First Disbursed Between 7/1/24 and 7/1/25
Subsidized Loans Undergraduate 6.53%
Unsubsidized Loans Undergraduate
Graduate		 6.53%
8.08%
PLUS Loans Parent
Graduate		 9.08%
9.08%

Note: The interest rates for federal student loans are determined by federal law. If there are future changes to federal law that affect federal student loan interest rates, we will update this page to reflect those changes.

Borrower Eligibility

Degree-seeking students who are enrolled at least half-time may receive Direct Loan funding as long as they meet all general eligibility requirements.

Borrowing Limits

The Direct Loan amount shown on the student’s financial aid award is the Financial Aid Office’s estimate of the student’s eligibility. As a general rule, the following grade-level maximums apply.

Year in School Base Amount Additional Unsubsidized *Additional Unsubsidized
Freshman 0-29 Credits $3,500 $2,000 $4,000
Sophomore 30-59 Credits $4,500 $2,000 $4,000
Junior 60-89 Credits $5,500 $2,000 $5,000
Senior 90+ Credits $5,500 $2,000 $5,000

Graduate and professional degree students are eligible for an annual maximum of $20,500 in Federal Unsubsidized Loans.

Repayment

When it comes time to start repaying your student loan(s), you can select a repayment plan that’s right for your financial situation. Generally, you'll have from 10 to 25 years to repay your loan, depending on which repayment plan you choose.

Planning for repayment is essential to your credit health. Detailed information and repayment calculators.

Deferment/Discharge/Cancellation

Under certain conditions, federal regulations allow students to defer loan repayment. The most common deferments are for enrollment on at least a half-time basis, unemployment, and economic hardship. During a deferment, the federal government will pay interest that accrues on any subsidized funds. Interest on unsubsidized loans is the student’s responsibility.

    How Do I Apply?

    Complete the FAFSA online to apply for financial aid. 

    1. Review and accept your loans in your Financial Aid Award Offer.
      All eligible students are offered a Federal Direct Loan. You can accept, decline, or reduce the Federal Direct Loans you're offered using the Financial Aid Checklist in your MarywoodYou student portal. Once completed, any additional adjustments (such as denying a loan you previously accepted or vice-versa) must be requested using our Loan Adjustment Request Form, found on our forms page: https://www.marywood.edu/affordability/forms/. 

    2. Complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Loan Counseling.
      Once accepted, the Financial Aid Office will originate your loan electronically with the US Department of Education. If this is your first Direct Loan, you must sign a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) via the web and complete Entrance Loan Counseling at www.studentaid.gov. 

    3. Receive your loan funds.
      After you have signed the MPN and you have completed Entrance Loan Counseling, your loan will be scheduled for disbursement. If you are an undergraduate student and your loan is for the full academic year, your loan will be disbursed in two equal disbursements – one at the beginning of the fall semester and one at the beginning of the spring semester. Graduate students will have three equal disbursements - the third occurring at the beginning of the following summer term. Your loan funds will first offset any outstanding charges you owe the university for the semester, and after your charges are paid in full, a refund of any excess loan proceeds will be disbursed to you by check.

    4. National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the US Department of Education's centralized resource for information about all federal student loans that you have borrowed. This information is housed within your account dashboard on studentaid.gov You can find information about all of your current and prior student loans, even those you may have borrowed at a prior college or university.

    Parents can borrow a PLUS Loan to help pay your education expenses if you are a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program at an eligible school. Interest rates and repayment provisions on PLUS loans can sometimes be more favorable to a borrower than other consumer loans available for educational expenses. Complete the FAFSA prior to applying for the PLUS loan online at studentaid.gov.

    Parents are required to pass a credit check when they are applying for the PLUS loan. If a parent's application for a PLUS loan is denied based on the borrower's credit history, the student may become eligible for an additional unsubsidized student loan. Freshmen and sophomore students can borrow up to $4,000 in additional unsubsidized loans, while juniors and seniors can borrow up to $5,000 in additional unsubsidized loans.

    Application Process

    • The parent borrower submits the Parent PLUS Loan Request Process
    • The federal loan processing center will review the borrower’s credit history to determine eligibility
    • Once the PLUS loan has been approved, the parent will be instructed to sign a Master Promissory Note
    • The student will need to accept the amount of the Parent PLUS Loan using their financial aid checklist in their student portal
    • The Financial Aid Office will originate the Parent PLUS Loan
    • Loan proceeds will be used to pay outstanding charges on the student’s billing account in the University Student Account's Office
    • If there are remaining funds available after the authorized charges are paid, a refund will be made available to the student or parent depending upon the parent’s designation when completing the PLUS application
    • Because a credit decision only lasts for 90 days, parents are encouraged to wait until July 1 immediately preceding the start of each new academic year before making application for a PLUS loan. If the 90 days expire before the loan is disbursed, parents may need to make a new application with a new credit check.

    The Federal Graduate PLUS Loan is a Federal loan program which allows Graduate and Professional students to borrow a low-interest federally backed student loan when Federal Direct Loan eligibility has been exhausted. Like the Parent PLUS Loan, the Graduate PLUS Loan can be used to pay for the total cost of attendance minus any financial aid you've already been awarded. Also like the Parent PLUS Loan, eligibility for the Graduate PLUS Loan is largely dependent on the borrower's credit rating and history. Students should follow the same application process outlined above for parent borrowers, beginning with the Graduate PLUS Loan Request Process. First-time Graduate PLUS borrowers must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete Entrance Loan Counseling.
