Tuition Assistance
Hope for the Future
Did you know Hope for the Future provided over 1,400 students with tuition assistance in the 2023-2024 academic year, totaling over $1.8 million.
Hope for the Future is just one way our students can receive tuition assistance. Many of our schools offer assistance at the local level through discounts, scholarships and grants.
All of these options are made possible by grants, foundation gifts and generous donors that make a Catholic education accessible and affordable for families.
The first step in exploring tuition assistance is to make an appointment with the admissions director or principal to learn about all available options.
Hope for the Future Tuition Assistance Program
Each year awards are offered to incoming Kinder-12th grade students based on available funding. These awards are given to offset current tuition costs for families. Awards are determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to family income, expenses as family size. All students attending Kinder-12th grade in a Catholic school within the Archdiocese of San Antonio are eligible to apply.
