Financial Aid for 2024-2025 

In order to make St. Michael  affordable to as broad a range of families as possible, the school provides assistance to students with demonstrated need.

All potential recipients are asked to  follow the procedures below. 

Students must have been accepted for next year, with the registration agreement returned and fee paid, before families will be considered  for an award. 

Also, parents of athletes, please be aware that through the rules of the AHSAA, if a student is coming to us from outside of the Mobile Archdiocesan schools and receives financial aid in the first year, he or she is ineligible to play athletics that year. It does NOT affect eligibility in his second year. 

This policy does not affect eligibility for 7th grade,  nor does it impact a student in this second year with us. For more information about eligibilty for athletics, go to this link.

The financial aid process is strictly confidential. 

Process: 

• In the early second semester each year, we provide a link (below) that asks you to make declarations of your income and expenses through Covenant Tuition Services, or CTS. This must be done each year for the upcoming school year, even if you qualified from previous years.   Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing and families must have demonstrated a reliable record of meeting their tuition commitments to be eligible for new aid.  

• CTS assesses the amount of financial aid you need and sends notification to St. Michael. A administrative committee will review these results and will send you a notification letter in April outlining what the school can offer your family. 

• If this award is sufficient, you will be asked to sign the letter of agreement and return it. This agreement will then define St. Michael's financial arrangement with the family. If this award is not enough, we ask you to call us to discuss. Though the financial aid process is partly formal, we want relationships to govern!--so please, make this call. 

• The priority deadline for applying for financial aid is March 31. To complete the process, you must be able to submit federal tax forms from 2022 as verification, so federal taxes will need to be completed before you can apply. We will consider financial aid requests beyond this date, but since most of the monies will be distributed at the priority deadline, scholarship monies will be considerably tighter thereafter. 

• Financial aid notification letters are mailed out in mid to late April each year. 

The cost of the financial application is $25, which will paid directly on line to "Covenant Tuition Services."  By applying, you are indicating you've read all of the above, understand and agree.
