St. Francis College: Physical Education
built 211 days ago
St. Francis Normal became a four-year, state approved institution, which became Marian College. In 1937, Mother Clarissa Dillhoff, who had led the community since 1926, took the "preposterous step" to move Marian College from Oldenburg to the site of the former Allison estate in Indianapolis. This venture was undertaken to provide college education for lay women. Accredited by the Indiana State Department of Education in 1944, Marian became the state’s first Catholic co-educational college in 1954 and continues today as a liberal arts college with strong professional programs.

More than 80 percent of the students at St. Francis receive some form of financial aid.

A typical student receives more than $7000 in scholarships, grants, and government support. Financial assistance is available from the TAP, Federal Pell Grant, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Programs. Merit scholarships provided by the College can enhance government funds and range from $1500 to full tuition. Students seeking assistance for the academic year must file the appropriate College forms by February 15 in order for their financial aid to be processed.
