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:
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-based 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.
