Madonna Assistance Award

Madonna University is committed to supporting students in pursuit of their goals through a range of scholarships and grants awarded based on academic performance, financial need, athletic experience, and group affiliation. Scholarships and grants are awards that do not need to be repaid and are awarded at the time of admission to Madonna. We’re proud that more than 85 percent of Madonna University students receive some type of financial aid, and we award some 900 scholarships annually – both merit and endowed.

We provide you with all the essential information you need for endless opportunities:

How To Be Considered for Scholarships and Grants

We are passionate about rewarding you for your hard work and dedication to your studies and extracurricular activities. New students are automatically considered for all merit scholarships during the holistic admission review process and do not need to complete a separate application. Competitive, Performance, and Talent Awards may require an additional application, audition, or interview and are awarded at the discretion of the coach or director of the program.

All scholarship applicants are required to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (code 002282) to be considered for additional financial aid. Scholarships and grants are included in your total financial aid package as reflected in the financial aid award notification letter upon admission. Renewal is contingent upon meeting specific requirements as outlined for each individual award.

Scholarship Opportunities at Madonna University

Direct from High School Merit Scholarships

These scholarships are awarded to students who enroll at Madonna University directly after completing high school; first-time adult students are also eligible to receive these awards as well.

The scholarships are for full-time, degree-seeking students and are renewable for up to four years. Students applying for Fall 2022 admission may choose to apply as test-optional. This means you are not required to submit ACT/SAT scores to be considered for admission or merit-based awards. No separate application is required to be considered beyond completion of the FAFSA during the admissions process. Review the Terms and Conditions for Direct from High School Scholarships.
