Tuition Assistance

When families join Mack Boulder they are connecting to a community that supports and celebrates economic diversity through a robust Tuition Assistance (TA) program. We are proud to be a statistical leader our geographic area, and more importantly to be working hard to enroll and support learners who have been under-identified and under-served in schools that are unable to offer the depth, pace, challenges, and support that help gifted learners reach their full potential. Our TA program allows us to enroll and retain best-fit students regardless of their family’s economic status. TA also allows us to increase and strengthen diversity at Mack which provides immeasurable benefits to every homeroom and every learner.

Awards for grades K – 8 are determined using results from a financial analysis conducted by the School and Student Services (SSS). We structure our awards by first serving those students who currently receive awards, then other enrolled students who have had a change in their financial status, followed by newly accepted students. All families receiving Tuition Assistance must reapply every year. Full instructions and deadlines are provided during the application process.
