The business model is tuition-driven ($15,800 for 2026-27 with $600-$650 registration fees), supplemented by over $1 million in annual tuition assistance, nearly 100 Marist Foundation scholarships ($500-$3,500 each), the MaristGives annual gala, The FUND for Marist annual campaign, and a Legacy Society planned-giving program. Distribution runs through the Finalsite enrollment platform with an event-driven GTM motion that includes year-round campus tours, Preview Marist, Spartan for a Day shadowing, and Rising Spartan orientation, while a network of 65+ corporate partners provides community and fundraising support. Customer outcomes include a graduation rate above 98% and alumni placement at top universities worldwide.
