Scholarships & Financial Aid
Through generous efforts by Our Lady of the Rosary parishioners, PTO, and other sources, we are able to offer tuition at a significantly lower rate than the actual cost to educate.
In addition to the built-in financial aid that every student receives, there are a limited number of sources where families might seek out additional funding for their child’s education, outlined below.
If applying for financial aid, please visit the Tuition Aid Data Service FACTS website at factsmgt.com/aid as soon as possible, as an application and application fee is needed for tuition assistance.
