Scholarships for Academy Students Fund

To make St. Mark’s accessible to the best and brightest students from all backgrounds, Scholarships for Academy Students in the form of financial aid. To enable us to do this, St. Mark’s offers a yearly budget allocated to financial aid that is generously supported by the Church, School Board of Trustees and donors.  This amount is capped for each academic year and awarded on a case-by-case basis. A student’s application for admission is not affected by his/her application for Financial Aid. Priority is given to current families who adhere to the deadlines and have met all financial obligations to the school.
 
Financial aid awards are based upon FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FACTS) financial assessment of each applicant.  Families applying for financial aid for the first time will receive a Financial Aid packet once you have submitted your Admissions application and requested assistance. Returning families currently receiving aid must submit a new application each year. A new Financial Aid packet will be sent to current families.

 

To apply for financial aid, please complete the following steps:

1. Create your FACTS online account.

2. Complete your Financial Aid application within a week of your application.
