Family Assistance
Why does the College want to give Family Assistance?
Mackay Christian College Family Assistance is a response to the rapid increase in the cost of living we have experienced in Mackay – especially in the cost of housing. These increases have meant that some people who want to give an MCC opportunity for their children have not been able to do so. The message that Mackay Christian College will help people if they have a financial need is a message we know is well understood inside the College community. We want to get that message out to the rest of Mackay.
What is Family Assistance?
Family Assistance is financial help to pay the costs of education.
What level of support does MCC Family Assistance give?
This will be evaluated on the basis of what a family can afford to contribute themselves. It might be only a small percentage of the total tuition fees – but it might also be all of the tuition fees.
How does someone get MCC Family Assistance?
Families will complete a simple application form – similar to the normal enrolment forms (available below).
Can current College families apply for MCC Family Assistance?
Yes. The College has always been prepared to help anyone who needs assistance with tuition fees. Existing families can write to, email, phone, or make an appointment to see, the Business Manager. The Business Manger will make the necessary arrangements.
How long will my family be eligible for Family Assistance?
You can apply for Family Assistance for up to 12 months at a time. Any Family Assistance offered will be reviewed at the commencement of each school year at which time you may reapply.
