We are aware that parents and guardians have a choice to make about their child’s high school education.  Sending a student to Mission College Prep is a significant investment.  We cannot meet all need, however we are committed to doing the best that we can.  The process of applying for tuition assistance relies on good communication between the parents/guardians and the school.  We ask that you communicate with us regarding your circumstances and walk through the tuition assistance process with us.
