FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Committed to reviewing need-based requests for financial assistance
Approximately 40 percent of MMA cadets receive some level of tuition assistance, primarily in the form of partial scholarships. MMA offers partial scholarships based on the level of need. There are no scholarships for summer camp.
Your son’s application for admission must be submitted and an acceptance determination be made before financial aid and assistance is decided.

Scholarships for Current Students
Current students interested in receiving a partial scholarship must submit an application to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Applications must be completed prior to May 1 of the preceding school year. The MMA scholarship committee will determine awards based on family need and student merit. Merit considerations include a review of a student's academic, military and athletic performance.
Scholarships for Scholarships for Students of Veterans
Students of fallen service members or 100% disabled veterans may be eligible for a NewDay USA Foundation scholarship. The foundation currently awards student scholarships for up to $15,000 per year for up to four years.
For 2025-26 school year, the NewDay Foundation has awarded all available scholarships for children of disabled veterans. The remaining funds for this cycle have been reserved specifically for students from Gold Star families—those who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
