Criteria:

Prospective student meets enrollment
Prospective student's family has sought financial aid but still is unable to afford advertised tuition
Prospective student is perceived to be an enhancement to the student body by the Head of School

The recipient of this scholarship will receive the scholarship each year they attend MMA, if at the end of each school year they maintain a minimum of a B average, demonstrate good deportment, and earn and maintain leadership positions within the Corps.

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.
