New Scholarship Opportunities
Mater Dei Catholic’s strategic imperative is to position MDCS as the school of choice
for families seeking an affordable Catholic education for their children. MDCS
accomplishes this by offering scholarship opportunities to all school families.
POLAR BEAR PLUNGE SCHOLARSHIPS
The Polar Bear Plunge has been a long-standing tradition supporting Catholic Education for the families of Mater Dei Catholic School. Since 2009, our school has raised monies to support the Polar Bear Plunge Scholarship Fund. These scholarships are available to families who have experienced unexpected hardships, enabling them to share the gift of Catholic Education with their children.

Mater Dei Catholic School
"Love in Action is Service"
Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known as “Mother Teresa,” was an Albanian-born Indian Roman Catholic missionary and nun who devoted her life to helping those most in need. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in India in 1950, and for over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying. Mother Teresa served those who were most vulnerable and made many sacrifices to help others. She devoted her life to serving those in need without judgment.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Love in Action is Service.” The Mater Dei Catholic School community will embrace Mother Teresa’s philosophy throughout the 2024 -2025 school year. We will learn more about Mother Teresa’s service to God’s people and strive to follow her example by serving others both within and outside of our school community. By focusing on creating a sense of belonging for all members of the Mater Dei community, we will mirror our hallmarks of Faith, Excellence, Service, and Community.
