The Marist Foundation Scholarship Application process is conducted online and coincides with Marist Catholic High School’s application and registration schedule each year – usually starting early in January and ending the beginning of March. The Scholarship Application and instructions for completing the process are available during this period and can be found at marisths.org under Admissions/Tuition and Fees/Endowed Scholarships. It should be noted that the Foundation Scholarships are not the same as the school’s Tuition Assistance Program (FACTS). However, to be considered for a Foundation Scholarship you must complete both the Scholarship Application as well as the FACTS application (in order to establish financial need).
For inquiries about the Foundation Scholarships and the application process please contact Heather Boyles at 541-284-7505 or at [email protected]. |
