Tuition Assistance at St. Mary School
We recognize that choosing a Catholic education is an important and valuable investment in your child’s future. However, we also understand that the full cost of tuition can be a financial challenge for many families. To help make our high-quality education more accessible, we offer a limited financial aid program designed to support families in need of tuition assistance.
What is Tuition Assistance?
Tuition assistance is financial support provided to families to help offset the cost of tuition.
