Tuition Assistance

Champions of Catholic Education

The Archdiocese of New Orleans established the Champions of Catholic Education Tuition Assistance Fund in 2015 through the Office of Catholic Schools and The Catholic Foundation. The fund provides tuition assistance for families wanting to send their school-aged children to Catholic schools within the archdiocese and who, without financial assistance, would be unable to do so. While almost all schools offer some type of financial assistance, those resources do not meet the need of all students who request aid. The Champions of Catholic Educations Fund exists to help fill that gap. Though it is impossible to make Catholic schools "more affordable", it is possible to make a Catholic education more accessible and available to those who truly want to benefit from attending a Catholic school.

We are ever grateful for your commitment to our schools and always appreciative that you chose Catholic education for your family.  Families and schools will be notified of 2018-2019 school year awards by June 1, 2018. 

To be a Champion of Catholic Education for students in a NOLA Catholic School, you can make a gift online here or contact The Catholic Foundation at (504) 596-3045. 

School-based Tuition Assistance

While each Catholic school in the Archdiocese of New Orleans is different and sets their own budgets based on student enrollment and human and financial resources available to it, almost all Catholic schools in the area have some sort of either need-based aid or academic scholarship program available to families seeking assistance in paying tuition. For more information about these school-managed programs, families should be in direct communication with school leadership. Find the contact information for your school online here.
