Merit-Based Scholarships

Students are eligible for merit scholarships by taking the entrance exam at Mount Michael in January 2025. Scholarships are given to the top test takers of the entrance exam. In addition to the merit scholarships, during the entrance exam there is an optional essay at the end for the Booster Club Scholarship.

Need-Based Grants

In order to be eligible for financial assistance, a family must complete a financial aid application and supply a copy of their latest Federal Income Tax Return along with their son’s application for admission. These forms will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, which uses practices approved by national organizations to determine the amount of aid for which a family is qualified.

Mount Michael Benedictine School seeks to serve a diverse and talented student body. To achieve that end, Mount Michael Benedictine is committed to providing payment plans and financial assistance to qualified students whose families cannot afford the school’s full charges. Mount Michael Benedictine has multiple options for payment plans depending on the particular situation. For equitable determination of financial assistance, we use a third party to weigh and balance individual family needs with our available aid funds. Prospective Mount Michael families cannot apply for financial aid until after their son has been accepted to the School. Financial aid applications will be available upon request after that point.

The monks of Mount Michael Benedictine Abbey are the sole operators of Mount Michael Benedictine School. The School operates independently of the Omaha Archdiocese, other Benedictine communities, and the public education system. The total cost to Mount Michael Benedictine School of educating each student is more than the tuition charged. Other revenue sources such as endowment interest, donations, and auxiliary enterprises help subsidize all students, including those who do not receive financial aid.
