Non-Michigan residents:

Our approach to "tuition reciprocity" is through our Wildcat Merit Scholarships for Non-Michigan residents. The value of these scholarships are reviewed annually with the goal of using them to close the gap between out-of-state and in-state tuition rates as closely as possible. Residents of all U.S. states outside of Michigan are eligible.

“I love Northern because of the different opportunities I’ve had. I would tell students that are considering Northern to make a visit. Once you visit Marquette and you have the opportunity to meet other students and faculty and staff here on campus, Northern’s going to feel like home, just like it did for me."
