Start your application here
⊕ SEND YOUR TRANSCRIPTS (AND TEST SCORES IF YOU WANT TO)
To complete your application and get an admission decision, we’ll need your high school transcript. If you applied Test Optional, that’s all we need! If you don’t select Test Optional on your application, we’ll need at least one ACT, SAT, or CLT test result. We superscore, so send us all the tests you’ve taken.
⊕ RECEIVE A MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIP
Merit scholarships are automatically awarded to all students accepted to MC based on GPA (and test scores if you choose to submit them). Higher merit scholarships can be earned with test scores. Amounts range from $14,000 – $23,000 per year.
⊕ FILE YOUR FAFSA FOR NEED-BASED AID
Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This determines your eligibility for federal and state scholarships, grants, and loans. MC’s School Code: 003505
⊕ APPLY FOR COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHIPS
MC has many additional scholarships that can be added to your other aid. These require a separate application, and some call for auditions and interviews. Begin your application(s) on your MaryVille Portal (MVP) after you apply for admission.
⊕ PAY YOUR ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT
Once you’ve made your decision to attend MC, make a one-time $300 enrollment deposit. This goes toward your tuition cost and secures your spot in the next MC class.
⊕ BECOME A SCOT
Complete your enrollment forms (housing, class registration, etc.) and get ready for your first semester of college!
