Financial Aid

Marlboro College Graduate School is dedicated to helping you earn your degree. The federal government offers loans for graduate study. Beginning with fall 2010, Marlboro College will offer low-interest rate loans through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.

What should I do and when?

Graduate and BSMIS students new to the Graduate School can begin the financial aid process by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. Marlboro College Graduate School's school code is 003690.

How will I know if I am financial aid eligible?

Once you have registered online for your courses and they have been approved for your program of study, the financial aid office will determine if we have received your FAFSA. If we have, we will calculate a financial aid award and will mail you an award letter. Your award letter will provide instruction on other things such as completing loan reply forms (if you are borrowing loans), details about declining aid, entrance counseling and federal verification among other things.

How often will I need to fill out a FAFSA?

The short answer is August 1st. Your financial aid award will be split over the number of trimesters in your award year. A financial aid award year begins with the fall trimester and includes the winter and spring trimesters of the following calendar year. Example: fall 2009, winter 2010, spring 2010 makes one full financial aid award year. After your first trimester you will need a new FAFSA by August 1st for every fall trimester that you plan to enroll for classes.

Foundation Awards

Marlboro College Graduate School is proud to serve the educational needs of working adults. Toward that end, the Graduate School developed a curriculum and schedule that allows highly motivated students to complete our Master's Degrees within 11 months, the MBA in Managing for Sustainability in 24 months, and the Bachelor of Science in Managing Information in 24 months. At the same time, the center realizes that such an accelerated program brings exceptional demands to students - both academic and financial. Students who exhibit this level of dedication demonstrate a desire and capacity to excel, and Marlboro College Graduate School believes they should be rewarded. It is in that spirit that the GC Foundation Award has been created. This award provides a $1,000 reduction in tuition, which is applied to the final trimester bill.
