Tuition & Financial Aid

The most frequent questions we get at MLS are related to finances, tuition and financial aid. Even though families are evaluating MLS for our education, programs, and culture, the financial burden can end the conversation before it even begins.

We never want money to be the reason your child can’t attend MLS. Yes, the school has necessary operating costs that must be met. We also have generous donors who contribute to financial assistance for students every year.

Financial aid is needs-based, and we encourage everyone to apply. The payment plans are flexible. Our Business Office is completely committed to working with you, your family, and your situation, wherever you’re at.
If you have questions about the details of financial aid, you are always welcome to reach out to our Business Office at (989)793-1010 ext. 404. If you have an eighth grader, the best way to have your financial questions answered is simply to apply for admission, and then we will invite you to begin the financial aid application.

We want you in the Seminary Family. Let’s work together to make it happen!
