Advancement at Mercy VHS

ADOPT A STUDENT
Although our present tuition is $5,055 per year, the cost to educate each student is $10,500. Many students come from families whose financial situations are tenuous: 58% of our students receive financial assistance. We rely on the generosity of donors who value our unique mission and appreciate our success rate:
  • 97% daily attendance rate
  • 97% of our graduates have positive outcomes:
    • 37% immediately join the job market.
    • 60% continue their education in technical schools and in two and four-year colleges.
By adopting a student, you can directly impact the lives of one or more students and his/her families. In turn, you may elect to receive letters and regular updates about your student and share in their progress as he/she discover and explore the opportunities available to them at MVHS. As the donor, you determine your level of involvement with your sponsored student, under the guidance of the school's staff. You may visit the student, serve as a mentor, provide co-operative education opportunities, assist with post-graduate employment, or simply be silent benefactor.

    $16,000 over four years
