Financial Aid
At Mercy Montessori Center, we understand that all families’ financial circumstances are unique. That’s why we created our sliding scale and we are committed to offering what aid we can. During the 2024-25 school year over $1,052,823 in aid was awarded to Mercy families through Mercy's Financial Aid Funds, the Archdiocese's Catholic Education Foundation, and the EdChoice program. We’d love to talk with you about financial assistance and how to apply.

Helpful Tips to Apply for Financial Assistance
Don’t assume that you won’t qualify for any need-based aid. You’ll never know if you don’t apply!
- Application - easy and confidential. $35 fee to apply

Get the FACTS about how your financial need is calculated.
- The Financial Aid application (for Mercy and Archdiocese) uses FACTS, an online application that takes into account your family’s income, core expenses like housing and utilities, and discretionary expenses like college tuition or elder care. The FACTS application requires a recent federal tax return (can be from the previous year) and a current W-2, so you can get started right away in exploring the amount of financial aid for which your family qualifies.
- The Ohio EdChoice scholarship uses an online application that uses household income and the number of people in your household to determine the award amount - currently ranging between $650 and $6,166 for K-8 students in Ohio.
