Financial Assistance & Scholarships

Central Catholic High School offers financial assistance to students whose families demonstrate significant financial need.

Based on available funds and the number of applicants each year, Central Catholic makes every effort to provide assistance to those families who need help.

Approximately 30% of Central Catholic students receive some type of financial assistance. Central Catholic students receive more than $1.5 million in financial assistance annually.

The Financial Assistance Application Priority Date for families in the Class of 2029 is December 9, 2024. Applicants who submit their financial aid application (available November 1) by this priority date will learn of their financial aid award with their admission decision.

The Financial Assistance Priority Filing Deadline for current families will be in March of 2025.

Incoming Families

Prospective and incoming families in need of financial assistance are encouraged to complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment form online through the CCHS website, beginning Friday, November 1, 2024, and prior to Monday, December 9, 2025 so the school may provide financial assistance decisions with the admissions decisions in January 2025.

Financial assistance decisions are made separately from the admissions process and have no impact on a student’s eligibility for admission.

All families applying for financial assistance must submit their most recent tax returns with W-2s and all supporting schedules. (More details are available below under "Applying for Financial Aid.")

All financial information is held in the strictest confidence by the Financial Aid Committee.

Families are required to reapply for financial assistance each year; however, every attempt is made to provide ongoing assistance to returning students that demonstrate continued need.

A limited number of academic merit-based scholarships are available to students enrolling at Central Catholic as freshmen. These scholarships utilize HSPT results to consider eligibility.

The Board of Directors at Central Catholic is keenly aware of the financial challenges facing families.

Guided by our Marist mission and commitment to provide you with the best experience in private, Catholic education at the greatest value, we recently met to determine how to maintain our excellence while addressing rising costs for families and our school.

Affirming our commitment, we set next year’s 2024-2025 tuition at $17,020, which is an increase of 4.5%.

While most schools are seeing significant jumps in tuition, we continue to maintain one of the lowest tuition rates among private and Catholic college-preparatory schools in the region.

We are proud to provide every Raider a safe place to reach beyond her and his comfort zone to become successful young adults. Most importantly, the life-long values of love and compassion for one another remain the foundation of Central’s family spirit.

Thank you for being a valued member of the Central Catholic Family and for entrusting us with your student!

International Student tuition and fees are addressed separately.
