Financial Aid

St. Mary's encourages all families who feel that they will need assistance in meeting the cost of tuition to apply for financial aid. Often, families will ask for guidelines to help determine if they will be eligible for aid. However, each family's circumstances are unique and generate a response that is appropriate only for them.

Factors that influence award decisions include such things as family income, assets, number of children and of those, the number attending tuition-charging institutions (excluding universities), and outside scholarships and grants.

Financial aid decisions are made by a finance committee and are determined outside of the admissions process. A family's ability to pay is not part of the admission criteria.

Supporting docs due by April 3, 2020, families will be notified in the spring.

• Copies of your 2019 Federal tax forms including all supporting tax schedules
• Copies of your 2019 W-2 forms for both you and your spouse.
• Copies of supporting documentation for Social Security Income, Welfare, Child Support, Food Stamps, Workers' Compensation and TANF.
• A letter explaining your family's financial situation. This will allow the committee to better understand how we can best provide financial assistance to your family. Financial aid applications submitted without letters will not be processed.
