Financial Aid is available to qualified families. Please follow the procedure listed below.

  1. Prospective 8th grade students take Entrance Exam at Mater Dei High School on January 30, 2010 or during our make-up exam which will be offered in the spring 2010.
  2. Admission Committee reviews admission file of prospective student.
  3. Admission Office notifies family of student's acceptance.
  4. Financial Aid applications are available in the MDHS Business Office and online beginning February 1, 2010. Families complete the Financial Aid application and mail to Private School Aid Service. The deadline for completing this application is April 1, 2010. However, PSAS will continue to receive financial aid applications after the April 1 deadline. Please understand that financial aid grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who qualify.
  5. Registrar's Office sends registration packet to families of students accepted for admission.
  6. Families may complete the financial aid application and mail to Private School Aid Service before official notification of student’s acceptance and registration.
  7. During May and June, Private School Aid Service reviews and provides an evaluation to Mater Dei on each application. Based on this evaluation, the funds available for aid, and the number of families applying, a decision is made by the school's Financial Review Committee on the amount of financial aid granted. A student must be accepted and fully registered before financial aid will be granted. This decision is communicated to each family at the end of June.
  8. Returning students who express financial need, must follow steps 4 through 7 listed above.

Grant Applications are available through the Advancement & Alumni Office through the Alumni Heritage Fund and the Mater Dei Letterman's Club. The application process for those grants takes place in the spring. Applications for those opportunities will be posted on the site in the spring 2010.  Please note that a student must be qualified for financial aid through the MD Business Office in order to be eligible for these grants.
