Federal student aid regulations are changing beginning July 1, 2026, which may affect loan eligibility, borrowing limits, and program availability for students and families. The Office of Student Financial Assistance is actively updating policies, systems, and communications to reflect these federal changes. We encourage you to review official information from Federal Student Aid while updates are in progress: https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/big-updates. If you have questions about how these changes may impact your financial aid, please contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance.

Scholarship Opportunities

Marshall University has a number of endowed and annual scholarships that have been established through the Marshall University Foundation by individuals who deeply care about Marshall University and its students. Many students are selected to receive endowed and annual scholarship awards by committees from departments and colleges, while others are selected by staff from the Office of Student Financial Assistance.

The Office of Student Financial Assistance uses the results of the FAFSA, GPA, and entrance exam results to determine eligibility for various endowed and annual scholarships; however, in some cases, an additional application for the scholarship is required.

Students must be making satisfactory academic progress to be considered for a private endowed or annual scholarship. In addition, most scholarships require the student to be enrolled full-time.
