BETTER COLLEGES AT A BETTER TUITION RATE

An investment in Mount Michael Benedictine School results in a tremendous head start on a college education.  The Mount Michael curriculum prepares our graduates for success at top universities and colleges.  Eighty-three percent of students earned college credits while still in high school.  The average ACT score for the past five years is over 27.6.  A Mount Michael education ensures an advantage in a college education.

An investment in Mount Michael also results in savings on college tuition by way of generous scholarship awards. The 46 members of the Class of 2011 were offered scholarship packages totaling $5.5 million with 78% of them being offered scholarships.  College tuition savings are also realized through Advanced Placement Courses.  A Mount Michael education generally results in a lower cost of a college education.   

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS

Mount Michael Benedictine School seeks to serve a diverse and talented student body.  To achieve that end, Mount Michael Benedictine is committed to providing payment plans and financial assistance to qualified students whose families cannot afford the school's full charges.  Mount Michael Benedictine has a couple of options for payment plans depending on the particular situation.  For equitable determination of financial assistance, we use a third party to weigh and balance individual family needs with our available aid funds.  Prospective Mount Michael families cannot apply for financial aid until after their son has been accepted to the School.  Financial aid applications will be available upon request after that point.

To discuss enrollment in Mount Michael Benedictine, or inquire about payment plan options or financial assistance, please contact Fr. Louis Sojka, O.S.B. in the Business Office at (402) 253-0980 or e-mail financialaid@mountmichael.org.

The monks of Mount Michael Abbey are committed to making high school tuition as affordable as possible. The generosity of the school's community makes it possible for Mount Michael Benedictine School to offer more financial aid per student than any other private high school in the Omaha area.

Need-Based Grants

In order to be eligible for financial assistance, a family must complete a financial aid application and supply a copy of their latest Federal Income Tax Return along with their son's application for admission. These forms will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, which uses practices approved by national organizations to determine the amount of aid for which a family is qualified.
