Financial Aid & Scholarships

academics

 

A Saint Agnes School education is an investment in the future of each student.

An investment through the sacrifices of each family, an investment by the school, and an investment that will pay dividends in college, life, and beyond.

We wish to provide every qualified student an opportunity to attend Saint Agnes. We are committed to making Catholic education affordable for as many families as we can responsibly serve.

At Saint Agnes School, our parents and families are entrusted with the responsibility for funding a student’s educational expenses. For those who are unable to pay the full cost, Saint Agnes makes every effort to provide additional assistance through our Financial Aid Program.

Saint Agnes has a limited amount of assistance available for families. For this reason, a Financial Aid Committee makes difficult decisions in how to best “invest” the available aid for the common good of the school.

Though financial need is a critical factor in distributing aid, it does not guarantee financial assistance. As applicable, the Committee will also consider the real and potential effort, performance, behavior and overall positive contribution of the student in determining financial aid.

Saint Agnes School does not fully fund any student’s tuition. Each family will need to contribute a portion of the cost of educating a student. Particular scholarships may have specific criteria established by the benefactors. There are no athletic scholarships.

Overview of Financial Aid

Saint Agnes School provides over $2,000,000+ in Financial Aid each year. Financial Aid is distributed in two methods:

  1. Tuition Assistance (grants)
  2. Scholarships

All tuition assistance is “need-based,” where scholarships are both “need-based” and “merit-based.”

Saint Agnes utilizes Clarity Financial Aid in order to determine financial need of all families. In order to apply for financial aid, please visit Clarity and complete the appropriate application; additional documentation will also need to be submitted.

Scholarships

In order to apply for financial aid, please visit Clarity and complete the appropriate application. Additional documentation will also need to be submitted.

Scholarships require separate applications, which can be found below.  These applications are due concurrently with Clarity applications each year. If you believe your student(s) may qualify for one of the scholarships listed below, please fill out the scholarship's corresponding application and submit to Mrs. Beth Morgan in the Advancement Office.

**Please note that our current offering of scholarships are only available for High School students (primarily those entering 9th Grade and 12th Grade in the fall). If you are the parent of a student entering Lower School (K-6) or Junior High (7-8) grade levels, all financial aid will be allocated and distributed via your Clarity application.**
