Quality Affordable Education

The Marshall University Board of Governors voted to extend a Border State Scholarship to students classified as non-resident for fee purposes in Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Non-resident tuition is currently $5,851 for the fall semester and $6,001 for the spring semester with Metro residents paying $4,015 for the fall semester and $4,165 for the spring semester. Students will need to have an ACT score of 23 and a 2.75 grade point average and remain in good academic standing to receive a $3,500 Border State Scholarship for the year. Therefore, receiving the new Border State Scholarship of $1750 per semester will bring the non-resident tuition very close to the metro rate ($5,851 minus $1,750 = $4,101 for the fall semester and $6,001 minus $1,750 = $4,251 for the spring semester).
