Financial Aid Policies

Students interested in applying for financial aid at Marian University must complete the following steps:
  1. New students must apply and be accepted for admission to the university.
  2. File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. List Marian University, Title IV School Code 001821, on your FAFSA. If you do not have Internet access, you can obtain a paper FAFSA from your high school guidance office, or call the Marian University Financial Aid Office at 800.834.5494 or 317.955.6040.
  3. If you have filed the FAFSA, please mail or fax us a copy of your Student Aid Report (yellow form). Our FAX number is 317.955.6424
  4. Complete the 2009-2010 Marian University Financial Aid Application and return it to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible.
These forms will determine eligibility for all federal and state financial aid. The FAFSA must be mailed before March 10 to ensure consideration for the Indiana State Grant programs. Students applying for Marian University aid only are not required to file the FAFSA. However, they are still strongly encouraged to file, if only to determine student loan eligibility. We will notify you if the federal government, through the verification process, requires you to send federal tax forms to our office.

Athletic Awards: Exceptions and Consequences

If a student-athlete fails to abide by those stipulations, she/he may have their financial aid package adjusted accordingly. Those stipulations are as follows:
  1. The student-athlete will maintain the minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA), as established in the Marian University catalog, under the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section.
  2. The student-athlete will abide by the athletic policies as they are established by the individual coach and the department of athletics, as detailed on the Athletic Behavioral Policies page.
  3. Special attention shall be given to the NAIA Champions of Character initiative - with emphasis upon respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership, and sportsmanship. The student-athlete's moral conduct will be such that he or she shall not be placed under disciplinary probation, as established by the Office of Student Life.
Failure to abide by the stipulations listed above may result in the revocation of athletic scholarship monies and dismissal from an athletic team.
