Financial Assistance for 2025-2026 Tuition

St. Thomas More participates in a number of outside partnerships that allow for financial aid for St. Thomas More students. Each program has its own unique qualifications, application, and award amounts, though no awards can be combined. St. Thomas More has no part of the decision making process in these programs, but is in contact with program leaders to confirm enrollment in our school as well as apply any financial aid awards to tuition payment plans. For more information on the programs that St. Thomas More partners with, please see below:

St. Thomas More also has a limited amount of in-house financial assistance to be awarded to need-based families. Financial aid is meant to be temporary and does phase out. Applications can be found here and should be submitted by May 20, 2025 to be considered for the 2025-2026 school year. Any awards will be granted prior to the start of the 2025-2026 school year. If a need arises outside of this timeline, please contact the St. Thomas More Business Office.

For questions, each program has its own contact information. Please see the links above.

Please remember that due to safety and liability coverage, we cannot allow any other children or siblings to attend these STM events. Only 8th grade girls and boys enrolled at STM may attend.
