Financial Assistance
FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2010-2011

Financial aid is available through McAuley High School’s Educational Aid Fund. Families who wish to apply for McAuley financial aid need only to complete the Private School Aid Service application form. McAuley will use the PSAS form as the basis for distributing aid from the high school. McAuley funds are provided by the Sisters of Mercy, the McAuley endowment fund, memorials, private donations, the annual McAuley McAuction, and the annual fund drive.

There is also a summer work credit program in which students can work for one week. In either case, tuition is credited $8.00 per hour worked. A Multiple Child Allowance provides a tuition discount for families with at least three students in archdiocesan high schools. For this current school year, the discount is $1175 for each of three students and $1375 for each of four or more students.
