To better assist accepted students and their families, MMI Admissions has streamlined its college scholarship process. As of 2024, there is no separate scholarship application. All accepted students will automatically be considered by the scholarship committee, which will award scholarships based on eligibility and availability of funds.

Please note: Army ROTC, Athletics scholarships, Band scholarships, and Knights Drill Team scholarships are conducted through those respective departments. For questions regarding scholarships or the application process, please email admissions@marionmilitary.edu or call 1-800-664-1842.
MMI awards various scholarships which are based on a combination of the following factors: financial need, academic merit, skills/experience and also residence. Students may only be awarded one Institutional scholarship at a time. Limited scholarships are available. All scholarship awards are determined by the Scholarship Committee. Institutional scholarships will be awarded in three rounds: a February round, an April round, and a June round. The qualifications for consideration of each scholarship are listed below.
The Marion Military Institute Foundation offers scholarships to qualified students attending or planning to attend Marion Military Institute. Each scholarship has its own eligibility requirements, but awards are usually based on academic qualifications, leadership potential, community service, and financial need.
Note: Returning MMI sophomores are also eligible for these Foundation Scholarships, awarded each summer and winter.

If you meet the qualification requirements for acceptance into the Early Commissioning Program and have a High School GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale), then you qualify to compete for an Army Two-Year Scholarship worth more than $20,000 per year in total benefits.
Substantial benefits paid by the Army can accrue to college-level ROTC cadets, benefits which can significantly reduce the cost of attending Marion Military Institute. The Army will pay Advanced ROTC (ECP) college cadets (those taking Military Science III or Military Science IV) a one-time uniform allowance of approximately $1,272.
In addition, advanced course cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $450 per month for Military Science III cadets and $500 per month for Military Science IV cadets for nine months of each academic year. Uniform allowances are paid by the Army directly to individual cadets about midway through the first year and midway through the second year.
ROTC Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the U. S. Army. Applicants are required to contract to receive disbursement. The Average MMI Cadet contracts after Midterms.
Please note: Marion Military Institute requires upfront payment for the semester. ROTC Scholarships are not paid to the school but to the cadet directly.
For further ROTC Scholarship information see our ROTC Scholarships page or email David Stilwell – dstilwell@marionmilitary.edu
