Financing Education

SMCS recognizes the financial investment families make when choosing a Catholic school education.

Although families and extended families take primary responsibility for the cost of a student's education, we are committed to helping parents who need assistance afford the choice of a SMCS education. SMCS offers need-based financial aid.

All SMCS families are eligible to apply for Archdiocesan tuition assistance using the FACTS Education Grant & Aid Application.  Deadline to apply for Archdiocesan assistance is February 29, 2012. 

Saint Mary and Saint Michael parishioners can apply for parish tuition assistance using the FACTS application.  Deadline to apply for Saint Mary & Saint Michael assistance is April 1, 2012.  Additional information is available in the school office.

Members of Saint Ann, Saint Joseph, Saint James, and Saint Augustine should contact your home parish pastors and ask what is available for assistance. Your pastors are grateful to be able to assist you. Archbishop O’Brien, newly named as a Cardinal in our Church, is an advocate of Catholic education, so please ask your Church what She can do to help.

SCRIP

SCRIP is a gift card program that generates “free money.”  Our school families have been using SCRIP to reduce their own tuition.  SMCS families have saved over a quarter of a million dollars in tuition costs using the SCRIP program.  Start making Catholic education affordable today!
