Tuition Assistance

 

Commitment to AffordabilityKindergarten photo

Tuition accounts for less than 65% of our school income. In addition, financial assistance is available to ensure that tuition is not a barrier for any family desiring a St. Louise education for their children. The tuition assistance grants are based solely on financial need. Families receiving assistance pay for a part of the total cost of tuition; “full scholarships” are rarely awarded. We are able to offer tuition assistance grants to approximately 12% of our students.

 

Because our St. Louise community is committed to our students, we have built a substantial endowment specifically for the purpose of providing financial aid to families who qualify. Each year interest income from the endowment provides over $140,000.00 to families who otherwise would not be able to afford a St. Louise education.
