Tuition and Financial Aid: Incoming Freshman
Cathedral High School’s Financial Aid Process:
We are excited to welcome you to our Cathedral High School community. We understand that a Catholic private education is a costly endeavor and financial considerations play a vital role in the decision-making process. Cathedral High School is committed to providing a quality college preparatory education. We offer a comprehensive financial aid package to help make Cathedral accessible to families from diverse backgrounds. We are geared to tailoring financial aid to meet the specific needs of our families by offering academic scholarships at entrance and financial aid to families who qualify.
Financial Aid Application Submission: To be considered for Cathedral High School’s need based financial aid, please complete both options listed below. The online application through FACTS and the CEF application. Both financial aid applications have no bearing on your admission application/decision. The applications require income information (2022 taxes must be included for incoming freshman families and 2023 taxes for returning families). Every family will be evaluated individually with the utmost confidentiality.
Option 1: Cathedral High School Financial Aid.
All families interested in receiving financial aid at Cathedral High School must apply for the online financial aid application FACTS. You must create a username & password if you don’t already have one. You may click here for FACTS.
Option 2: Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) Tuition Assistance Award:
The Catholic Education Foundation provides Cathedral High School families with Tuition Assistance Awards. All families interested in applying for financial aid must also be required to complete the CEF paper application as part of their son(s) financial aid package.
