Financial Aid Application Process



The financial aid application is available and instructions in English and Spanish for Grades 5-12.
*Please note that financial aid is NOT AVAILABLE for PG Basketball/Baseball players or Summer School.
It is very important to note that applying for financial aid has no bearing upon the Admissions Committee’s deliberation and assessment of student’s potential as a MMA student. Decisions regarding admission to MMA and eligibility for financial aid are made independently of each other.  The amount of financial aid awarded averages 15% off of the total tuition for the school year. Financial aid awards do not include uniform fees or other additional fees. The non-refundable deposit is required prior to registration.
For questions regarding MMA financial aid and our process please contact:
