Tuition Assistance
Our Archdiocese, schools, and parishes are committed to supporting families seeking a Catholic education. We encourage families to explore the tuition assistance opportunities that help make our schools more accessible.
Getting Started
There are many tuition-assistance programs offered through the Archdiocese and through local Catholic schools. The first step is making an appointment with the school’s principal or admissions director to discuss your situation and options.
Tuition Assistance Guidelines
Catholic schools offer tuition assistance based on financial need. Some high schools offer academic-based scholarships as well, so it’s important to contact the schools you are interested in attending for their guidelines.
Scholarships
All Catholic high schools provide need‑based financial aid. Merit‑based and specific scholarships are also available. Please visit the financial aid page on each school’s website for more information. Many outside organizations also provide assistance.
