Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School welcomes families needing assistance to consider the following methods of reducing the cost of your student’s education.
Variable Tuition
Variable Tuition (VT) is a sliding scale tuition rate determined by multiple factors of a family’s financial means. Any family, new or current, may apply for VT if they are concerned about affording the full tuition rate at MCPS. MCPS utilizes a third-party, confidential service (Smart Aid) to facilitate the VT determination. Factors considered include income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family.
Process for Applying for Variable Tuition:
- Complete the online Variable Tuition Application from Smart Aid
- CURRENT FAMILIES MUST HAVE ALL FORMS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED BY MARCH 1. Late submissions will not be reviewed until after all other applicants have been awarded and potentially could result in no awarding of aid due to lack of funds.
- FOR NEW FAMILIES, THE MARCH 1 DEADLINE DOES NOT APPLY.
- Families will be sent a notification letter from the Business office once the applications have been reviewed. The letter will contain the Variable Tuition rate offered to your family. Signing your letter and sending it back to the school will secure your rate for the upcoming school year.
