Scholarship & Financial Aid Opportunities

Educational Choice (EdChoice) Scholarship

The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Program provides students from designated public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. The program also provides students who are entering kindergarten through 12th grade scholarship opportunities based on their household income level.

The EdChoice Scholarship Program provides tuition assistance to families through two types of scholarships: Traditional (Location-Based) and Expansion (Income-Based).​

FACTS Financial Aid Program

24-25 FACTS Financial Aid

If your family needs additional financial assistance beyond the EdChoice Scholarship, you may apply for FACTS Financial Aid, an income-based program that helps cover any remaining tuition balance after other scholarships have been applied. To be considered, families must complete the FACTS application by the March 15, 2024 deadline.

We understand the financial commitment families make to provide a Catholic education at SMM, and we encourage all eligible families to apply, even if unsure. This need-based aid is awarded based on household income, so completing the application ensures you are considered for all available assistance.
