Tuition and Scholarships
A Mount St. Mary education is a solid investment in your daughter's future. The 2010-2011 tuition is $8650, plus course and administrative fees. Mount St. Mary Academy currently offers more than two dozen scholarships to incoming freshmen based on placement exam results and separate applications. Applicants who list Mount St. Mary Academy as their first choice for high school will be considered for scholarships. Please contact us for a complete list of these awards.
Financial aid is available in several ways:
- Mount St. Mary Academy is dedicated to and firmly supports Catholic Education. A 25% discount will be applied to the tuition accounts of those families who have at least one parent who is a full-time employee at a Catholic Elementary School, a Catholic High School or a Catholic Church. A letter of employment verification from the principal or pastor is required each year by May 1st. Discount determinations will be made at the discretion of the School Administration in conjunction with the policies set forth by the Board of Trustees.
- Financial aid grants are awarded based on financial need. Limited funds are available for incoming and current students each year.
- Students are eligible for our Work-Study program. The program matches the student with an in-school job during the school year and/or summer. Payment is based on the number of hours worked and is credited directly to the tuition account.
- Discounts are given to families with more than one daughter attending our school.
We offer a variety of tuition payment options, including the ability to spread payments out over ten months. Discounts are given to those families who choose to make payment in full by July 1 or who pay half of the tuition by July 1 and the other half by December 1.
