Province of the Society of Mary offers to all graduates of the Marianist
Educational Consortium Schools some financial aid to the University of Dayton.
For those graduates who have demonstrated both an understanding and a practice
of the Marianist tradition, a renewable scholarship of
$4,000.00 per year is available.
The Marianist Leadership Program nourishes students who choose to continue their education in the Marianist tradition. Students are challenged and supported to connect academics with service and leadership in the greater community. Through relationships with other scholars, and the Marianist Family at the University of Dayton, these individuals have the opportunity to strengthen their faith and put it into action.
