Other Financial Aid Options

Scrip Business Gift Cards

Families purchase participating retailer’s Scrip gift cards from our school system’s central office. Half of the percentage of the proceeds is applied toward current or future family tuition, parishes, or our MACS Tuition Assistance Fund. The other half goes to our schools. View more information on Scrip.

K-12 Catholic Parish Membership

Tuition for MACS students is determined by grade level and Catholic parish membership. Families who are active members of our Catholic parishes receive a reduced tuition rate thanks to the financial support of those parishes. View the list of the eleven supporting parishes.
