Need-Based Aid:
At the heart of St. Mary's Academy's mission is the commitment to provide a Catholic, college-preparatory education to young women of all economic backgrounds. We recognize that a private school education is a significant investment. The purpose of our Financial Aid Program is to offer student families financial support so that they may access a Catholic education, which might otherwise be inaccessible.
St. Mary's Academy works with FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to administer our Financial Aid Program. When submitting the FACTS application, there is an application fee of $40. In order to be eligible each year, financial aid must be applied for annually.
Need-based aid includes funds awarded by the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) and other sources. Eligibility is determined annually through the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment via its online application and CEF income guidelines.
The priority application deadline for need-based aid is January 10, 2025 for new students. Applications received after this date will be evaluated in the order in which they are received and awarded as funds are available.
