Waldron Mercy Academy strives to be financially available to all families interested in providing a quality Mercy education for their children. Financial assistance is considered on an annual basis for families who demonstrate financial need, and must be reapplied for each year. Aid is limited by the funds available.
We draw our student aid funds from WMA fundraising activities and from individual and corporate donations, including the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). We are grateful to those corporations and individuals who make this aid possible through their generous contributions.
Families must complete a School and Student Services (SSS) application between November 1 and March 31 for the following school year. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools that determines a family’s ability to pay school costs. Apply online at www.sss.nais.org/go/parents or contact the WMA business office for an application. A copy of your latest federal tax return must accompany your application.
You will be informed of any award granted by April 30.
- How much assistance can I receive?
This depends on several factors including your demonstrated financial need, the availability of student aid funds, and the number of families who have applied for assistance.
Credits will be applied to the following school year’s tuition bills in equal monthly installments from July through April.
