TADS:

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: * **Link TADS Financial Aid LOGIN  to apply.

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. 

  • Families can apply at the following link: Apply Here  

They have also included a few updated resources for the 2026-2027 academic year:    

New for Families! Easy Apply with IRS Integration 

The new Easy Apply process has launched for families for 2026-2027 applications. Easy Apply leverages our direct IRS connection through TaxStatus® to cut the family application experience in half, removing redundant information that can be automatically pulled through IRS data. Major changes to the family experience include: 

  • The new Easy Apply pathway allows families to provide consent to directly access their IRS data and documents and skip all redundant tax-related questions on the application. Families are still able to provide next-year estimates if they expect a major life change. 
  • A redesigned School Selection experience enables families to find and apply to their desired schools or programs with less clicks. 
  • A streamlined experience for Section 6: Basic Tax Info which gathers information to populate the right application questions for each family based on several factors, including US taxpayer status and business ownership.

For more details on the family’s experience with the Easy Apply workflow, check out this guide.
