How to become a Spartan
Scholarship recipient
Miami Country Day School offers merit and need-based scholarships. These scholarships remain with the student until graduation and are renewable each year based on academic performance and other scholarship criteria.
At MCDS, we take pride in our independent school status and the opportunities it allows us to provide a truly exceptional education. While we don't participate in Step Up For Students or Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA), we are excited to offer a robust tuition assistance program for students in 6th grade and above, that helps support and enrich the lives of many families within our community.
