As a private school, we know that tuition
is a sacrifice for our families, and some have difficulties paying the full amount.
Currently, 30% of our students receive some level of tuition assistance. Tuition
assistance helps both our school and our families: Mercy is able to continue
our tradition of diversity and support for our community, and our families
receive the best Catholic education available for their children. The Support-A-Scholar
Program is a unique opportunity to support a student’s Catholic education. The
goal of this program is to bring together families who are in need of tuition
assistance with those who want to help provide a Catholic education to a
student in need. All of the scholars eligible
to receive tuition assistance funds through this program will have documented
the need for financial assistance.
As a Patron, we ask that you make either an annual or a three-year commitment of
support. Commitments begin at a minimum of $350, which covers the instructional
fees for a student for a year. To support as many families as possible, we ask
that Patrons consider higher tiers of funding: $995 (the current Triad Capital
Fee), $1,250 (quarter of tuition), $2,500 (half tuition), or even $5,000 (full
tuition). All donations are tax-deductible; patrons will receive an annual
acknowledgment receipt.

Guidelines
-
Monies will not be transferred between the
Patron and a Scholar family directly.
-
Because
of privacy and confidentiality reasons, a patron will not be matched directly
with a scholar by name. However, if a patron wishes to fund a particular type
of scholar, please indicate your parameters on the attached contract.
-
Funds
for this program are to be paid in full by May 1st, prior to start
of the academic year in which the funds are applied. There is a variety of
giving options including a single payment or monthly installments.
If you have any
questions about this program, please contact Katrina Capistrano, Director of
Advancement, at 336.722.7204 or via e-mail at kcapistrano@ourladyofmercyschool.org.
