Financial Assistance

We work with each family to help make tuition payments manageable.
All families requesting assistance complete a tuition aid assessment to determine level of need. Tuition assistance awards are based on the
number of applications received and funds available. Awards are generally determined at the end of May, and families are notified by early summer.
Our tuition assistance analysis, as well as tuition payment plan, are provided through a company called FACTS, a nationally recognized tuition management company. 

 

There are two components to FACTS:

1. Tuition Grant and Aid Assessment. This component requires completion
of a financial statement each year indicating level of need. Any scholarships provided come from school donor supported tuition scholarships or parish subsidy. FACTS is a management company and does not provide scholarships.

 

2. FACTS Tuition Management provides Automatic Tuition Withdrawals from
a Savings or Checking Account and credit cards allowing tuition payments to be extended monthly.
