Graduate Financial Aid and Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress

The Marietta College financial aid programs make a Marietta education accessible to those who, for financial reasons, might otherwise be unable to attend. Whereas the student has the responsibility to meet college costs to the extent the student is able, Marietta College tries to build a partnership with each student that will bridge the gap between the student’s contribution and College costs.

Sources of Assistance

The primary type of aid that is available to graduate students is in the form of federal student loans.

Marietta College Grant money is not available to graduate students. Endowed and gift scholarships are available on a very limited basis.

Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans are available to students through Marietta College’s Direct Loan Program regardless of need, but require the student to pay interest charged while enrolled and during the six-month grace period. An origination fee and guarantee premium are charged by the lender at the time each loan is made. Repayment of Stafford Loans begins six months after the student graduates or ceases to be enrolled at least half time. Thereafter, simple interest is charged and regular monthly payments of not less than $50 are required. Graduate PLUS loans are also available.
