Financial Aid

Three opportunities for K-8 families to apply for financial aid for the 2026-2027 school year.

  • Scholarship Granting Fund, SFG, is now available for new students in grades K-8 (**all Kindergarteners are new) through the Scholarship Granting Organization! Click here to apply.

  • ACE Scholarships student applications will open again, September 15, 2026. Families can apply via the ACE portal. 

  • Manhattan Catholic Schools has contracted TADS (Tuition Aid Data Service) to determine financial aid awards to those families that apply for tuition assistance.  Applications are made online with the TADS program.  Families will have access to the TADS Family Portal, establishing a new account with login information. In that program, you will follow and complete the process by submitting the requested information through the Family Portal.  Once an account is established, there is an option to complete the information using instructions in Spanish.  When all information requested is complete, TADS will calculate the award need and notify MCS.

    TADS will start accepting applications online on March 1.  When all applications are completed and final calculations made by TADS, MCS will send families notification of the aid we can provide. 

    MCS has benefactors for financial aid.  However, the amount cannot meet the needs of all our families.  Thus, no family can receive more than 50% of the cost of tuition for their family.  Other MCS enrollment and book fees must be paid by the family.   MCS pays an annual cost for TADS programming.  The application fee for families is $60, which is a family’s investment in reducing the cost of their tuition.

    All families can apply online by using this link to establish an account and work through the application process.

     

    Additional TADS Information:

    Important: There are some exciting changes launching for families this year with the new Easy Apply process and IRS integration – please review the details below. Families will automatically go through the recommended Easy Apply process which skips tax-related questions and pulls data from the IRS instead, unless you specifically take action to require the longer process before receiving applications.
