| Cardinal Mooney High School is rooted
in a strong tradition of religious values, quality academic programs
and an atmosphere of Christian community. Our school is strengthened
by a network of caring people -- students, teachers, parents, alumni,
and friends.
Our hope is that each year more students will be
able to enjoy the benefits of a Cardinal Mooney education. While
costs continue to rise, we will make every effort to maintain tuition
at an affordable level. Realizing that a Catholic high school education
entails a significant financial sacrifice for our families, we are
working to increase our tuition assistance program in order to help
families in need meet tuition costs.
Each year we have awarded grants and scholarships
to over 300 students. This aid is made possible through the Bowers
Scholarship Trust, The Winter's Student Fund, the "Adopt-A-Student"
Program, grants from the Cardinal Mooney Alumni Association and
the Sisters of the Humility of Mary, as well as through efforts
of our parents and several local organizations. In addition, approximately
40 students are offered part-time jobs at school to increase their
tuituion credit.
This current year, tuition assistance totaling over
$200,000 has been awarded:
-95 students have been awarded renewable scholarships
renging from $100 to $500.
-approximately 230 students received tuition grants based on financial
need ranging from $100 to $1,500.
-approximately 30 students have participated in our studentwork
program earning $350 to $400 toward their tuition.
-3 parents have accepted school service jobs to help defray the
tuition cost.
-15 students have received Adopt-A-Student grants ranging from
partial to the full tuition cost.
In addition to the above, discounts for the second,
third, and fourth child in a family are available. Also, we offer
a professional courtesy tuition discount for children of teachers
in our Catholic schools.
Scholarship and tuition grant information is usually
available in the school office in the middle of January and forms
are usually due back at CMHS around April 15.
To apply for financial aid, a family must complete
a Student Aid Form, available in January. These forms are sent with
a copy of the current Federal Income Tax Return to the Private School
Aid Service. This company will review the family's financial circumstances
and give an unbiased, confidential evaluation of its ability to
pay.
