Marywood University has announced a new partnership with the Pennsylvania National Guard, making it the only university in Lackawanna County to offer eligible students and their families 100% tuition coverage through the Educational Assistance Program (EAP) and Military Family Education Program (MFEP).

The Pennsylvania National Guard’s EAP covers tuition as determined by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), enabling Guard members to pursue their degrees with significant financial support. While the program does not cover all fees, eligible students can benefit by meeting the following qualifications:

A six-year service commitment to the Pennsylvania National Guard
Active membership in the PA National Guard
Enrollment in an approved degree program
Submission of all required paperwork through the student’s National Guard unit
Submission of an annual FAFSA and PA State Grant Application

In addition, the Military Family Education Program (MFEP) offers tuition coverage and a portion of the technology fee for the spouses and children of Pennsylvania National Guard members. To qualify for the MFEP, Guard members must commit to an additional six years of service, with all documentation submitted through their unit.

With five National Guard units located in Scranton alone and nearly 18,000 members statewide, the Pennsylvania National Guard is the second-largest National Guard in the country. This partnership demonstrates Marywood University’s steadfast commitment to supporting service members and their families while fostering accessible, high-quality education.

“Marywood University is honored to stand alongside our brave Pennsylvania National Guard members and their families,” said President Lisa A. Lori, J.D. “As the only university in Lackawanna County offering this opportunity, we are proud to help local service members achieve their educational goals while recognizing their tremendous service to our state and nation.”
