FINANCIAL AID
While the cost of a McDonogh education is significant, we believe the value is greater and lasts a lifetime. Our mission is to create a diverse and inclusive community. All diversity - including socioeconomic diversity - is integral to educational excellence and the McDonogh student experience. Financial Aid is an essential tool for ensuring that McDonogh remains a vibrant community, and we are committed to providing support to those who demonstrate financial need. At McDonogh, students and families find their school home.
As you’re navigating the admissions process for your child, please know that the process for both admission and financial aid is competitive. While space availability and financial aid resources are most limited for new students applying to grades 1-4, students applying to all grade levels are welcome to apply for tuition assistance.
