Eligibility

Adult undergraduate students are defined as students who began their Marist academic career at age 22 or older and who are applying through the office of Adult Undergraduate Admission. Graduate students are students who are initiating an application for a stand-alone master's degree through the Office of Graduate Admission. Tuition discounts exclude any graduate or undergraduate degree and certificate programs that are already discounted. The Doctor of Physical Therapy and MS in Physician Assistant Studies degree programs are not eligible for the partnership discount. For all new degree and certificate programs, Marist will determine partnership discount eligibility at the time of release. Employees, members, and their immediate adult family members must show proof of employment or membership in order to qualify for the partnership tuition rate.

Books, fees, and all related expenses are the responsibility of the student. These reduced tuition rates are not retroactive and cannot be paired with any other Marist College discounts or scholarships.

If you are inquiring or applying to a program, please be sure to indicate your partnership affiliation on your application or when you speak with an advisor. 

Students cannot receive both a merit award and an academic partnership discount together. The Office of Student Financial Services will award the higher allocation if a student qualifies for both awards.
