MISD Foundation for Excellence
Tuition Assistance

Based on the availability of funds the MISD Foundation for Excellence will provide tuition assistance to families who feel the educational opportunities in our system best meet the needs of their children. The primary criterion for approval of an application is need.

The regular application time is in the spring for the following full academic year. Normally a limited amount of each year's funding is held back from the full year grants to assist families whose circumstances have changed since the regular full year application time. Applications for this spring assistance should be made in the fall.

If you received a full year grant then you cannot apply for a grant for the spring of the same year.

Who can obtain tuition assistance?

Out-of-district students who live in Calloway County are eligible. If you are not sure of your eligibility check  at the Board office at 753-4363. If you received a full year grant then you are not eligible for a grant for the spring of the same year.

You can pick up an application form just prior to the deadline at:

MISD Board Office

How many pages are in the application form?

You need one (1) yellow student information sheet for each student in addition to the four (4) pages in the basic form.

Does the Yellow Student Information Sheet have to be on yellow paper?

No.

When is the application due?

In the spring, the deadline is April 15 for the following academic year.
In the fall, the deadline is October 31 for the following spring semester.
