MARS reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any scholarship without prior notice. Such action would not affect the scholarship(s) in process.
For scholarship assistance, you MUST complete the online application for the Scholarship you seek. Certain scholarships have selection criteria, and not all scholarships may be awarded if there are not enough or no qualifying applicants. Please click on each scholarship name to review the information required for that particular scholarship, to fill out the online application, and submit.
Individuals can apply for more than one scholarship (if they qualify), but an individual may only receive one scholarship.
MARS Scholarships (in part or in full), awarded or won (either through MARS or other Affiliate), and/or discounts garnered through MARS (early registration, sales or specials), may not be combined. You may however, combine other affiliate scholarships (State or local organizations, etc), with any MARS scholarships. The Affiliate Scholarship will be applied first, then any MARS scholarship applied, with a total maximum amount not to exceed the current school tuition for double occupancy. MARS Scholarships cannot be used to pay for single room upgrades, add'l persons, meals or other programming or functions.
If by chance, you have won or received multiple MARS scholarships (either in part or in full) to the upcoming session of the school, you can apply the highest value of any one scholarship toward full tuition for the upcoming year. NOTE - This does NOT apply to Alumni Rewards . We encourage anyone attending, who has attended in the past, to recruit, and bring, up to 15 first time students with them to the upcoming session. The recruiter will STILL receive $100 CASH for each one. See more about the ALUMNI REWARD PROGRAM .
* Recipients will be notified by JANUARY 31.
** If the Scholarship is awarded, recipient will be announced at the Thursday Night Awards Banquet during the upcoming schoolweek.
