Our application considers household income, size of family and overall financial circumstances. It is always worth the effort to apply.

Scholarship Opportunities

Tuition Discounts & Work Grant Program

Discounts

Mother McAuley offers two discounts, which are automatically applied to your tuition if you meet the criteria:

The Legacy Discount is a one-time, $1,000 discount during a student's freshman year, available to freshmen whose mother graduated from Mother McAuley. Our legacy is 400+ strong here at McAuley.
The Family Discount is $750 and is available to any family with two or more students enrolled at McAuley in a given school year, and/or $500 available to any family with a student at Brother Rice in a given school year.

Work Grant Program

Applications are available in the fall each year. If awarded, the student will receive a tuition discount, and will be assigned a duty during her study period. This might be assisting in the Main Office, the Media Center, in the Institutional Advancement department… wherever they are assigned, it will not interrupt their school day, and is a great experience for students!

Outside Assistance Organizations

More than 50% of our students received some form of tuition assistance for this school year, amounting to more than $1.9 million for our families.
