Tuition Assistance Information –
Secondary Schools
Although tuition continues to be an excellent value as compared to the tuition in other dioceses and in private schools, we realize that it puts a serious strain on some budgets. In order to assist families in providing for a Catholic school education, the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) has been established.
Parents seeking financial aid must complete a TAP application by April 1 of the previous school year, submitting the required forms to verify income, and a $15 non refundable fee payable to the Tuition Assistance Program. The application process ensures that the amount of aid given to each family is objective and that as many needy students as possible receive help. Tuition assistance applications are available in each school’s Business Office. Families currently receiving tuition assistance must reapply each Spring for the next school year.
Each school's Business Office can provide information on how to apply for education loans, which provide eligible borrowers with up to the cost of education including tuition, fees and related expenses. Your interest rates and loan fees are based on your credit history. You may also wish to talk to your bank or credit union to see if they will provide you with a loan.
