April 2025 Tuition Assistance UpdateWe have exhausted our tuition assistance budgeted amount for the 2025-2026 school year. Although, circumstances could change, enrollment numbers can fluctuate, and some awards could be returned if a student chooses not to attend SM. Therefore, If new funds become available, the tuition assistance committee will review your application and/or your appeal (https://forms.office.com/r/YCd3EgBAZ4) at that time. There may be a significant waiting period and you will only be contacted when changes occur. Thank you for your patience.
