Tuition
The total cost to educate each child at Maternity of Mary – St. Andrew School during the 2023-2024 school year is approximately $7,500. This cost is met primarily by tuition, parish subsidy, and fundraising.
Tuition covers 60% of that cost. The remaining cost is covered by:
- Maternity of Mary parishioners contributing $250,000 per year, which provides over $1,900 per student per year.
- Fundraising efforts generate $600 per student per year. (requires participation by every family)
- Other income and donations contribute the remaining cost per student

Tuition Assistance
We understand the sacrifice families make to send their child to a Catholic school. We never want finances to be the reason to not to do so. Through the generosity of our parish, tuition assistance is available to all registered K – 8 students. MMSA uses TADS, our Tuition/Financial Aid management system to assess your family’s financial need. Log into your TADS account to complete your family’s application.
Applications and required uploaded documents must be complete by April 1, 2023.
The Aim Higher Foundation provides additional scholarships to children whose families are looking for tuition assistance to send their child to a Catholic school in the great Twin Cities metro area. Children attending grades K through 8th grade are eligible to receive $1,000 each. There is no limit to the number of children who receive a scholarship per family.
Once awarded, the Aim Higher Scholarship follows students through 8th grade and to other Catholic schools. In other words, if your child receives a scholarship in kindergarten, he or she will continue to receive $1,000 each year through 8th grade—a possible total of $9,000 in nine years.
The Aim Higher Scholarship Applications for the 2023-24 school year are now open.
