TUITION/SCHOLARSHIPS
St. Mary School is committed to making a Catholic education accessible to as many families as possible, regardless of financial circumstances. To support this mission, we offer tuition assistance programs designed to help provide for a student's demonstrated financial need.
Through a combination of state scholarships, Diocese of Cleveland need‑based tuition assistance, and parish support, these programs aim to ensure that every student has the opportunity to grow academically, spiritually, and personally within our nurturing school community.
We Encourage Parents to Apply For All Scholarships. Please turn your scholarship paperwork into the office

Applications must be completed by a parent or guardian who is a full-time school employee (30+ hours/week and eligible for diocesan health benefits) as confirmed by their employer. Awards will be granted per student, so families with multiple children may be eligible for each child listed on this application. Please complete one application per family.
