🚨 Easy-to-Miss “Gotchas” at Marquette University (Read This First)
Marquette scholarship money stops at tuition. All Marquette scholarships and grants added together can’t go past tuition. The $1,200 student fee plus about $17,480 for campus housing and food (2026-27) is on the family unless your student lands a full ride, Pell, the Wisconsin Grant, or outside money.
The Père Marquette number never goes up. It’s locked in at admission. Tuition rose 3.5% for 2026-27, so the part you pay creeps up a little every year.
An outside full-tuition scholarship cancels Marquette’s. Marquette’s aid rules say a student with full tuition from another source isn’t eligible for Marquette scholarships. Run the numbers before you celebrate.
Getting in is step one, not the whole thing. Lovell (Feb 1), Burke, Urban Scholars, Pre-Law and Les Aspin (all March 1) each need a second application after admission. And only Early Action admits (Nov 15) get invited to apply to Honors.
Test-optional really means test-optional here. Marquette says students who don’t send scores get equal scholarship consideration. If you do send them, Marquette superscores and accepts a screenshot of the score report.
Varsity athletes aren’t eligible for the Père Marquette Award. Factor that in if your student is being recruited.
File the FAFSA by February 1, every year. Need-based Marquette Grant money only renews if the FAFSA is in by then.

What is the middle 50% ACT/SAT? ACT: 26-31; SAT: 1220-1350.
Average net price? About $29,237/year after aid.
Does this school use waivers/reciprocity?

This is what first-time, full-time students who received grant aid paid after grants and scholarships, based on the most recent federal data. It counts books and living costs, so it can run higher than the billed total above. Families who got no grants are not in this average, so many middle-income families pay more. New to Net Price & SAI? Read our guide.
One Price for Everyone (and Where the Gap Hides)
Marquette is private, so a family from Milwaukee and a family from Texas pay the same $53,890 tuition. The table above adds the $1,200 student fee to tuition.
Marquette’s own 2026-27 budget for a student living on campus also counts about $720 for books and supplies and $2,950 for personal costs, which brings a full year to roughly $76,240 before travel.
Here’s the part families miss: Marquette’s scholarships only apply to tuition, so fees, housing and food are paid with grants, savings, work or loans unless your student wins one of the full rides.
FAQ: Cost of Attendance at Marquette University
Why are the in-state and out-of-state numbers the same?
Marquette is a private university, so there’s no extra charge for out-of-state students and no in-state discount. Wisconsin families do get some state help on top of Marquette’s aid: the Wisconsin Grant (up to $4,850 for 2026-27 for students with financial need) and the Wisconsin Academic Excellence Scholarship for valedictorian-level students.
What does a full year at Marquette really cost?
For 2026-27, the billed costs are $53,890 tuition, $1,200 in student fees, and about $17,480 for campus housing and food, or $72,570. Add Marquette’s estimates for books ($720), personal costs ($2,950) and travel (from $350 in Wisconsin to about $1,060 from the West Coast), and you’re looking at about $76,600 to $77,300 a year before any aid.
Is the average net price really about $29,237?
That’s the federal average for full-time freshmen who got grant or scholarship aid. Merit is generous here: Marquette’s 2024-25 Common Data Set shows 906 first-year students got non-need merit money averaging $30,813. Your number depends on grades, need and which awards your student lands, so run Marquette’s Net Price Calculator and its scholarship estimator before you compare offers.
Will my student’s scholarship go up when tuition goes up?
No. The Père Marquette Award is set at admission and stays flat for all four years. Tuition went up 3.5% for 2026-27 and housing and food went up 3%, so plan for your share to grow a bit each year.
Can Marquette scholarships pay for housing?
Usually not. Regular Marquette scholarships are tuition-only. The exceptions are the full rides (Lovell, Burke with its housing stipend, Opus, Herdrich, the Cristo Rey award, Global Scholar), the ROTC enhancement, and the Do Great Things award for Green Bay West students in their first two years. Federal Pell Grant money can also go toward housing and food.
Does Marquette require the CSS Profile?
No. Marquette uses the FAFSA only (school code 003863). The priority date is February 1, and that date matters every year, not just freshman year.
November 15: Early Action deadline. Not required for merit, but it’s the only way to get invited to Honors, and it buys time for the scholars program applications.
January 15: Honors interview requests (Early Action admits only).
February 1: Regular Decision deadline and FAFSA priority date. This is the Père Marquette Award cutoff, plus Lovell, Pre-Dental, the Honors written application, and most college and high-school-specific awards.
February 15: All-In Milwaukee application (nursing students in partner programs).
March 1: Burke, Urban Scholars, Global Scholar, Pre-Law and Les Aspin applications.
Parent rule of thumb: treat February 1 as the real deadline for everything, even if your student is still deciding.
Automatic Merit Scholarships: Marquette University
Marquette doesn’t publish a GPA and test score grid. Every full-time applicant is reviewed for the Père Marquette Award when they apply for admission, and the amount is set by looking at the whole transcript.
Apply by February 1 to be considered. Scores are optional, and Marquette superscores the ACT and SAT if you send them.

Automatic Merit FAQs (Marquette University)
How much is the Père Marquette Award?
Marquette doesn’t publish a chart. The amount depends on grades, course rigor and the rest of the application. The scholarship estimator gives a ballpark, and Marquette’s 2024-25 Common Data Set shows the average first-year merit award was $30,813.
Do we need to send test scores to get merit money?
No. Marquette says students who apply test-optional get “equal and full consideration” for scholarships, including the Père Marquette Award. If your student’s scores help, send them; Marquette superscores and accepts a screenshot.
What does Marquette give National Merit Finalists?
$3,000 a year for four years to Finalists who name Marquette as their first choice with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. It stacks on everything else and can push total aid past tuition. Semifinalist or Commended status doesn’t qualify.
What is the Wisconsin Academic Excellence Scholarship?
A state award for the student with the highest GPA at each Wisconsin high school, worth up to $2,250 a year toward tuition. It renews with a 3.0 GPA and 24 credits a year and stacks with Marquette aid up to tuition.
What are Alumni Club scholarships?
Money from Marquette alumni clubs for students whose high schools fall in a club’s territory. No application. Marquette doesn’t publish the amounts or territories, so ask your admissions counselor.
Do these renew?
Yes, for eight semesters with full-time enrollment and good academic standing. The dollar amount stays the same all four years.
We’re an ROTC family. What changes?
If your student wins an Army, Navy/Marine or Air Force ROTC scholarship, Marquette adds up to $3,500 a semester toward housing and meals (up to $28,000 total) instead of the regular award. Air Force Type 2 recipients keep the Père Marquette Award instead.
Marquette’s biggest money sits in a handful of named programs, and most of them have a catch about who can apply. Lovell is open to everyone. Burke is Wisconsin-only, Urban Scholars is Milwaukee-only, Opus is for engineering students with financial need, and Global Scholar is for international students.
Most need a second application that shows up on your student’s status page after admission.

❓ Flagship / Competitive Scholarship FAQs
When are the deadlines?
Lovell and Pre-Dental are due February 1. Burke, Urban Scholars, Global Scholar, Pre-Law and Les Aspin are due March 1. Your student has to be admitted first, and the applications appear on the student status page. Opus has no separate application; your student is considered after applying as an engineering major and filing the FAFSA by February 1.
How many Lovell Scholarships are there?
Up to four a year, each a full ride (tuition, fees, a standard double room and meals) with a faculty mentor. Marquette prefers a 3.8 GPA or higher, and test-optional applicants are considered equally.
Can out-of-state students win the Burke or Urban Scholars awards?
No. Burke is for Wisconsin high school seniors (10 full rides a year), and Urban Scholars is for Milwaukee-area seniors (full tuition, with housing not included). Out-of-state students should focus on Lovell, Opus, the scholars programs and the college-based awards.
Is Opus a full ride?
Yes. Marquette’s financial aid guide says it covers tuition, fees, lab fees, a standard double room and meals for five incoming engineering students a year with strong academics and real financial need. First-generation students get priority. The scholarship page’s award line just says “full tuition,” which is why you may see it described both ways.
Do Pre-Dental and Pre-Law come with scholarship money?
Not directly. They’re accelerated programs with conditional admission to Marquette’s dental school (Wisconsin’s only one) or law school. Students keep their Père Marquette Award, and finishing a year early saves a year of tuition.
What should my student prepare?
Activity lists, a service and leadership story, and essays. Our Essay Toolkit and Brag Sheet Builder help organize all of it before February.
🧠 Parent Strategy: At Marquette, Where Your Student Comes From Matters
A surprising amount of Marquette’s quiet money is tied to a specific high school, a specific major, or a specific background. Most of it needs no separate application, which also means nobody tells you to look for it. Check this list against your student:
High school: Marquette University High School (Stollenwerk, Monroe, Pathway), Cristo Rey schools (a full ride every four years, plus $2,000 a year for Jesuit and Cristo Rey grads), Wisconsin Catholic high schools (Ketterer), and Green Bay West (Do Great Things).
Major: Engineering (Herdrich), communication (Diederich, Foley), theatre (Brink audition), and nursing (All-In).
Background: Golf caddies (Evans Scholars), Hispanic/Latinx students with need (Goizueta, half tuition), and undocumented students (Ellacuría Dreamers).
File the FAFSA by February 1. Many of these are need-based, and no FAFSA means no consideration.
Parent translation: pick the intended college on the application on purpose. Applying as “undecided” can take your student out of the running for the engineering and communication awards.

❓ Hidden Gems FAQ
Do we have to apply for these separately?
Mostly no. Herdrich, the Cristo Rey award, Goizueta, Do Great Things, Diederich, Foley, Stollenwerk, Monroe, Ketterer and the Jesuit/Cristo Rey award are all considered through the admission application (plus the FAFSA where need counts). The exceptions are Evans (apply through the Western Golf Association by September 30 of senior year), Brink (spring audition), and All-In (All-In Milwaukee application by February 15).
What is the Evans Scholarship?
A full tuition and housing scholarship for golf caddies run by the Western Golf Association. Marquette is a partner school and has an Evans Scholars house where scholars live together. If your student caddies, this is worth a serious look.
Is the Herdrich award really a full ride?
Marquette’s financial aid guide says yes: tuition, fees, lab fees, room and meals for one first-generation engineering student with financial need, renewable for up to five years. The scholarship page’s award line lists only tuition and fees, so confirm the details in the award letter.
We’re Hispanic/Latinx. Is there anything for us?
Yes. The Goizueta Foundation Scholarship pays half tuition for Hispanic/Latinx students whose families live in the U.S. and who show financial need. It isn’t on Marquette’s main scholarship list, but it has its own page and is considered through the admission application and FAFSA.
Can these stack with the Père Marquette Award?
The smaller ones do, up to tuition. The full rides (Herdrich, the Cristo Rey award, Evans) replace other Marquette scholarships. Goizueta stacks with Marquette scholarships but replaces any Marquette University Grant.
Marquette has a University Honors Program, not a separate Honors College. Core Honors means smaller, discussion-heavy classes, a first-year course on civic discourse, research support from day one, and an optional Honors living-learning community in Straz Tower. It doesn’t come with its own scholarship check. The catch is timing: only students admitted through Early Action get invited to apply.
Typical Admit: No GPA or test-score cutoff, and no test scores required. Marquette looks for curious, engaged students.
Who Can Apply: Early Action admits (apply to Marquette by November 15)
Deadlines: Interview requests by January 15, or a written application by February 1. Decisions come the first week of March.

Beyond Honors: Programs Worth Knowing
MU4Gold Scholars: A competitive Honors track that pairs students with faculty for funded research starting freshman year.
Lovell Scholars: Marquette’s top full ride, with a faculty mentor (see Flagship above).

Les Aspin Scholars: A guaranteed Washington, D.C. internship for policy-minded students in any major.
University Honors Program FAQs (Marquette University)
Is Honors admission automatic?
No. Early Action admits are invited to apply, either through an interview with a current Honors student or a written application explaining how they connect with the program’s goals.
Does Honors come with a scholarship?
Not by itself. Honors students keep all their Marquette scholarships and can compete for Honors-only awards, like $1,500 study abroad awards for six Honors-designated programs and research support through MU4Gold.
Do we need test scores to apply?
No. Marquette says no scores are required for Honors, even if your student didn’t send them for admission.
What if my student applied Regular Decision?
They won’t be invited to Core Honors as an incoming freshman. Marquette also has Disciplinary Honors, which students apply to in sophomore year.
Are Honors classes harder?
They’re smaller and more discussion-based, with less reliance on exams. Most families find the difference is depth, not extra volume.
Marquette is a Catholic, Jesuit university right in downtown Milwaukee, and it punches above its size in a few specific areas. U.S. News ranks it a top-25 school for undergraduate teaching, and its real strength shows up in health sciences, specialized business majors, and fast-track professional programs that let students finish dental or law school a year early.
Nationally Known Programs: Health Sciences and Nursing: Marquette’s Doctor of Physical Therapy is ranked #16 by U.S. News, and strong high school students can be admitted straight into it as freshmen, with a guaranteed spot in the professional phase if they meet the requirements by junior year. Physician Assistant Studies is ranked #27, and undergraduate nursing is ranked #36.
Business (specific majors): Business as a whole ranks around #101, but specific majors rank much higher: real estate (#11), supply chain management (#13), accounting (#18) and finance (#26) by U.S. News.
Dentistry pipeline: Marquette has Wisconsin’s only dental school, and the Pre-Dental Scholars Program gets up to 10 students through college and dental school in seven years.
Law pipeline: Pre-Law Scholars finish college in three years and move straight into Marquette Law School, six years total.
Physician Assistant: Three years of pre-PA study, then the 28-month PA program, but a seat isn’t guaranteed. The program takes 75 students a year, with about 25 seats aimed at Marquette biomedical sciences students.
Engineering: The Opus College of Engineering is a solid regional program (ranked #119 by U.S. News) with two engineering full rides, Opus and Herdrich, for high-need students.
Communication and Policy: The Diederich College of Communication has its own scholarships, and the Les Aspin Center gives policy-minded students a guaranteed Washington, D.C. internship.

Big picture? Marquette works best for families who treat it as two separate money hunts. The first is easy: apply by February 1, file the FAFSA, and almost every student gets a Père Marquette Award, test scores or not. The second takes work: the full rides (Lovell, Burke, Opus, Herdrich), Urban Scholars, and the quiet awards tied to your student’s high school, major or background, most of which need a second application or the right box checked on day one.
The thing to plan around is that Marquette’s own money stops at tuition and never grows. That leaves roughly $18,700 in fees, housing and food every year, plus annual tuition increases, for grants, savings, work or loans to cover. If your student is headed for physical therapy, nursing, dentistry, law or one of the top-ranked business majors, that can be a good trade. Just go in with the full four-year number, not the first-year award letter.
