A brief description of the institution’s participation in federal TRIO programs:

The Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) is an academic program that motivates and enables low-income and first generation students, whose parents do not have a baccalaureate degree, to enter and succeed in higher education. EOP consists of the following projects:

Upward Bound (UB) and Upward Bound Math & Science UBMS:
UB and UBMS are federally funded TRIO programs. Their mission is to assist and educate low-income and first generation high school freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in their goal of becoming a college graduate. The UBMS program is for students with a strong interest in the math, science, or technology field. We recruit students who live in the city of Milwaukee.

A brief description of the institution’s policies and programs to minimize the cost of attendance for low-income students?:

Marquette provides several opportunities to minimize the cost of attendance not only for low-income students, but for all students. Close to 90 percent of all Marquette students utilize some form of financial aid. Such opportunities come in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and employment opportunities. Many of these are in the form of need-based aid.
