Tuition Assistance 2025-2026
Download Tuition Assistance info sheet
The FACTS portal for Tuition Assistance for the 2025/2026 school year opens on November 01, 2024 and closes October 31, 2025. We will continue to accept and review applications after the deadline if funds are available, but priority will be given to families who complete the application by the deadline.
How can we afford Marian?
When the Servants of Mary opened Marian High School in 1955, they made the promise that no girl would be turned away for financial reasons. Today, we remain committed to that promise. We believe that socio-economic diversity enriches our community and is critical to our mission.
We view a Marian education as an investment in a student's future, but also recognize the sacrifice associated with private education. For this reason, Marian works with each family to review the demonstrated need and determine the appropriate level of tuition assistance. Along with tuition assistance funding, many families use a variety of other resources, such as work-study, payment plans, 529 Plan contributions and support from relatives to make tuition feasible.
Ultimately, supporting a student’s education requires an accountable partnership between the family and the school. We look forward to working with you to give your daughter an outstanding Marian educational experience.
Contact Director of Tuition Assistance Shari Reynolds with any questions about tuition payments or tuition assistance.

Supporting Students
Work-Study Program
Marian’s work-study program is available to students who qualify for tuition assistance with preference given to freshmen and sophomores. The tuition assistance application must be filled out and approved before a student is accepted into the work-study program.
Students earn approximately $600 per semester for their work-study duties. Student assignments before and after school, consist of general cleaning and vacuuming. In-school assignments are performed during study hall blocks. These jobs consist of secretarial work and some light cleaning. The in-school assignments are very limited and will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis. If the in-school assignments are filled, you will be assigned a 30-minute before or after school position. Freshmen are not eligible to participate in the in-school work-study program during study hall the first semester. They may apply for the in-school position during study hall second semester.
