These financial contributions strengthen our school community, support the many educational and extracurricular opportunities for students, and help keep tuition affordable.

FINANCIAL AID

We are committed to working with you to clarify the financial aid process and explain payment options. Our financial aid committee strives to help as many families as possible. Please note and adhere to our application deadlines to maximize your consideration for aid.

All financial aid is need-based. Students receiving financial aid must maintain an acceptable academic and conduct record. Aid is renewed annually and is provided through the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) and/or Damien’s Spartan Grant Program. Applications for both programs open in November prior to the new school year. In order to receive the maximum amount of aid, families are encouraged to apply for both CEF and Damien’s Spartan Grant.
