As a Catholic, Jesuit institution, it is central to our identity to strive for a more just world — one in which all flourish. Catholic social teaching on immigration underscores our moral obligation to "welcome the stranger among us," to embrace diverse newcomers and provide assistance to immigrants, migrants and refugees.
On Nov. 30, 2016, then-President Michael R. Lovell reaffirmed Marquette's commitment to the undocumented student community by signing the Statement of AJCU Presidents on Undocumented Students. Marquette University is committed to helping undocumented students obtain an education, thereby providing students the opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential.
Undocumented, Dreamer and DACA students can apply for admission to Marquette. There is no application fee.
All Marquette freshmen and transfer scholarships are available to undocumented, Dreamer and DACA students. For any scholarships or grants that require the FAFSA, undocumented, Dreamer and DACA students may fill out the Net Price Calculator for verification.
Undocumented and DACA students may be eligible to receive privately funded merit scholarships or grant aid. They are not eligible to receive state or federal financial aid.
IMPORTANT: Our Admissions and Financial Aid offices recommend undocumented, Dreamer and DACA students fill out Marquette's Net Price Calculator to determine financial need instead of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you are a citizen but your parents are undocumented, you can file the FAFSA and enter 000-00-0000 when asked for your parents' Social Security numbers. (Please note, in order to confirm your response, you will be required to enter the 0s twice for both parents.)
