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.

"Peace is Built in the Heart"
Pope Leo XIV’s words remind us of a powerful truth: peace doesn’t start in the world around us—it begins within each of us. It is shaped by love, nourished by prayer, and strengthened by our desire to live as Jesus taught.
At Mater Dei Catholic School, we embrace this call to be peacemakers. Pope Leo’s message speaks to everyone, but especially to our children, who are growing into the people God created them to be. When peace lives in our hearts, it flows into our words, our choices, and our relationships.
When every heart becomes a home for peace, then our school, our homes, and our entire community can become places of kindness, forgiveness, justice, and joy. Pope Leo is calling us to be different—to build peace through the way we live, speak, and treat one another each day.
This year, let us journey together as builders of peace—rooted in God’s love, guided by His truth, and strengthened by His mercy.
