Lafayette College

Marquis Fellowship and Marquis Scholarship

ListedCollege programUp to full tuition
Award
Marquis Fellowship: full tuition. Marquis Scholarship: half tuition. Both are tied to tuition and grow with annual increases, renewable for up to eight semesters with a 3.00 GPA.
Deadline
For fall 2027 entry, Regular Decision and Early Decision II admission applications are due January 15, 2027. The Marquis scholarship page still says January 5 and advises applying a few weeks early, so confirm the merit-consideration timing with admissions.
How to apply
No additional application. All first-time Early Decision and Regular Decision applicants are considered, and awards appear in the admission letter. An admissions interview is encouraged.
What you'll need
  • No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
Who can apply
First-time applicants to Lafayette. Offers typically go to students at the top of their class in the most demanding curriculum.
Good to know
The current fall 2027 admissions page says January 15, but the Marquis merit page still says January 5 and advises applying early. This conflicting merit timing remains unresolved. Lafayette also offers Cur Non Scholarships of $17,500 to $31,500; students whose enrollment depends on merit aid are advised to apply Regular Decision.
