We believe all families who desire a Catholic education for their child should have that opportunity. Our need-based Tuition Assistance is available for those who qualify based upon income table parameters and then complete an application process.

We use FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment to determine the financial needs of families. This system takes into account our local cost of living, medical costs, general household expenses and other factors in determining the need for a family. Every part of this process is safe, secure, and confidential.

Some key details:

• Financial assistance is not available to families who have ONLY Pre-K students.
• When applying for Tuition Assistance, you must ALSO set up a payment plan in FACTS.
• Applicants will apply online for a fee of $35 (only one fee per family).
• Financial Aid Awards will be first distributed to families who have followed the deadlines of the program. Any applications or verification documents submitted after the deadline will be considered for secondary rounds of aid but may not receive as much aid as a similar family who applied within the deadline.

In the application process, you will be required to submit the following documents:

• Tax returns, including tax schedules
• Business tax returns if your family owns a business
• IRS form W-2 for both you and your spouse
• IRS form 4506-T: Request for transcript of tax return
• Copies of supporting documentation for social security, welfare, child support, food stamps, workers compensation, and TANF

Important Dates:

• March 1: Tuition assistance applications available through the FACTS website
• May 1: Preferential tuition assistance submission date
• As noted above: any applications submitted after the deadline may not receive as much assistance as a similar family who applied within the deadline.
• May 1: Tax returns & verification documents must be uploaded to the FACTS website
• Families will be informed of the decision on their application in June.
• New families enrolling throughout the summer or families that experience a significant financial event will still be eligible for tuition assistance after the May 1 deadline.
