Tuition costs vary by grade level, parish membership, and number of students. Tuition can be paid in full in August or in quarterly or monthly payments.
It is our hope that every student who wants to attend Muskegon Catholic will be able to do so. Thanks to the generosity of our Catholic community and the Muskegon Catholic Education Foundation, there are many opportunities for financial assistance:
1. New Student Scholarships
New students automatically receive scholarships for the first three years that they attend MCC:
K-8: $1000 per student for three years
9-12: $500 per student for three years
2. Academic Leadership Scholarships
Prospective students entering middle and high school with a 3.0 GPA or higher may apply for our Academic Leadership scholarships. At the Middle School, students will receive $1500 per year for three years, and at the High School, recipients will receive $2000 per year for four years.*
Up to ten of these scholarships are awarded to new middle and high school students who have demonstrated excellent academic performance, service to others, and outstanding character.
Please fill out the applicable scholarship forms to apply for these scholarships.
3. Financial Aid
For school year 2009-2010, we were able to offer $250,000 in financial assistance to over 100 families. A family's need for financial aid is determined each year by the Muskegon Catholic Schools’ Scholarship Committee, which uses information supplied by PSAS (Private School Aid Service). The report generated by PSAS provides the committee with a calculated “need” per family by considering factors such as family size, income and expenses, and assets and liabilities. New families may also apply for financial aid and are encouraged to fill out the PSAS form as early as possible. Please call the Business office at 755-1980 X340 if you would like us to send you a PSAS form.
4. SCRIP
Families are encouraged to participate in our SCRIP program to further reduce their tuition costs. It is possible to “bank” SCRIP credits or have family members designate their SCRIP credit toward your family’s tuition account
5. Tuition Schedule
You may view our Tuition Schedule or call our Business office at 755-1980 X340 for more information.
*Students will receive either the Academic Leadership Scholarship or the New Student Scholarship, not both.
