Families seeking tuition assistance for Kindergarten through 8th Grade may apply for financial aid through FACTS. Financial aid is awarded based on a demonstrated need.  

The applicant’s 2025 federal tax return will be submitted as part of the application. Applicants are encouraged but not required to use FACTS’ IRS Integration tool to simplify this submission.

Families are encouraged to apply early.  The application period opens February 1 and closes May 31 prior to the upcoming school year. 

After May 31, only short-term emergency requests due to a documented change in circumstances will be considered.

The application applies to Kindergarten through 8th Grade tuition only and does not extend to:

● Early Childhood Programs (Infants–Junior Kindergarten) 

● After Care 

● Summer Camp 

● Additional School Fees

Families needing assistance with employment-related childcare  may apply through the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) for the Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) program. Please note that many applicants are currently placed on a waitlist.   MSCS’s DELC-licensed programs are eligible to receive funds from ERDC for tuition in the Nursery classrooms, Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, After Care and Summer Camp.

Families whose children are transferring from public school or who have a child entering Kindergarten are also encouraged to apply for financial assistance through local scholarship organizations, such as Children’s Scholarship Fund.
