Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance
St. Louise Parish School is dedicated to making a Catholic education affordable and accessible for all families through a range of tuition assistance programs.
Commitment to Affordability
We strive to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent families from choosing St. Louise School. Each year, we award approximately $200,000 in tuition assistance, reflecting our commitment to serving families from diverse financial backgrounds.
Our financial aid programs are designed to support families who value Catholic education and actively contribute to our school and parish community. We continually explore new ways to expand resources and ensure that every child who seeks a St. Louise education can access it.

Will I Qualify for Aid?
We understand that many families wonder if they’ll qualify for assistance — and the answer varies depending on each family’s financial situation. Aid is awarded based on demonstrated need, which takes into account factors such as income, household size, expenses, and other obligations.
Tuition Assistance Estimates by Income and Family Size
Definitions:
- Total Family Income: Combined gross annual income and resources of all income-earning parents/guardians.
- Income per Household Member: Total family income divided by the number of people in the household (adults + children).
| Level | Income per Household Member (Annual) | Estimated Tuition Discount |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,000 – $25,000 | 50% |
| 2 | $25,001 – $30,000 | 45% |
| 3 | $30,001 – $35,000 | 40% |
| 4 | $35,001 – $45,000 | 35% |
| 5 | $45,001 – $55,000 | 30% |
| 6 | $55,001 – $65,000 | 25% |
| 7 | $65,001 – $70,000 | 20% |
| 8 | $70,001 and above | 10% |
📝 Example
- Total family income: $60,000
- Family of 4: (2 parents, 2 children)
- Income per household member: $60,000 ÷ 4 = $15,000
- ➡️ Qualifies for: 50% discount
The goal of tuition assistance is to bridge the gap between what families can afford and the full cost of education — making St. Louise accessible to all who desire it. Please note that these numbers are only estimates and not guarantees; actual tuition assistance is determined individually for each family.
