Tuition and Financial Aid

We are committed to providing an education that challenges, inspires, and prepares each student for a bright future. Tuition for the 2025–26 school year is $14,750, with additional costs for transportation, retreats, field trips, and extracurricular activities.
 

Making a Messmer Education Attainable

Messmer is proud to offer scholarships to help make a Messmer education affordable and accessible.

For eligible students, we are also proud participants in the Milwaukee and Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs, which offer a pathway to join our vibrant, high-achieving community.

 

Scholarships

Scholarships are intended for students who do not qualify to participate in the Choice program. 

To apply for a scholarship:

  • Please complete the scholarship application linked below. Submit the application by May 1 to admissions@messmerhigh.org. You will also need to submit your previous year's signed Federal 1040 tax form. NEW applicants must also submit the student's most recent report card.
  • Because funding is limited, we cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive aid.
  • Decisions will be communicated on or after May 15.
  • Due to demand, financial aid is not automatically renewed; a new application is required each year.

Messmer's Financial Aid Application

We encourage you to contact us if you have questions along the way. Our goal is to support families in exploring every possible option to make a Messmer education within reach.

Parental Choice Programs

To participate in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Private School Choice Program, families must complete the DPI Choice Application.

A complete application to Messmer through the Choice program will also include submission of Messmer's academic application and other supporting documents, such as report cards and standardized test scores.
