Holy Cross Catholic School exists to serve our local Catholic community. We recognize, however, that for some Catholic families today, the prospect of a solid Catholic education for their children is a dream that seems unattainable. Yet, there is proud tradition in Catholic education of serving those most in need and those who feel themselves most disenfranchised.  

At Holy Cross Catholic School, we work very hard to ensure that we are good stewards of the gifts we receive. We are continuously scrutinizing how we spend our money to eliminate waste. These rigorous checks help us realize the affordable tuition rates that we are able to provide our families. However, we also understand that despite our best efforts to keep our tuition and fees as low as possible, some families still find these too difficult to afford.

For this reason we offer tuition assistance to families who qualify. Tuition assistance is only available for students in grades K -8 (not Preschool).  We work with Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) to process our tuition assistance requests.  Both financial and family circumstances are taken into account when making financial assistance awards.

Applications for financial assistance are due no later than May 15 every year prior to the starting of a new school year.  Families will be notified of any awards.

Tuition Assistance Process

1. To be considered for financial assistance, families must first complete and submit their application (new students) and/or complete their enrollment/re-enrollment to Holy Cross Catholic School, which includes submitting the non-refundable registration fee.
2. Families can then complete the financial aid application online in their TADS account.  Applications must be complete, and in ‘Good Quality’ (meaning all information has been provided), before we will review your application. The deadline to apply for tuition assistance for the upcoming school year is May 15. After that date there is no guarantee funds will be available. 
3. An optional letter explaining any unique or special circumstances your family is currently facing, but that might not be reflected in your TADS financial summary, may also be included.  Letters can be uploaded into your TADS application online.
4. This assistance is for tuition only. All other fees and expenses incurred by students such as school lunches, after school care, field trips, athletic fees, fundraising requirements, etc. is the familiy's responsiblity to pay when due.
5. Letters will be sent to families notifying you of any awards. 

Holy Cross Catholic School’s goal is to make sure that Catholic education is affordable for all families. We will do our best to work with each family to make a payment plan that works.
