Tuition — Financial Aid

2011–2012 Tuition

$8,975 (includes all academic fees)

  • The tuition of each additional sibling in the family attending concurrently is discounted $1,250.

Financial Aid is made possible with funds generated by the Padua Franciscan High School
Endowment Trust and Alumni Association. To be eligible for consideration, a family must complete the Private School Aid Services (PSAS) Financial Aid Application.

The PSAS form will be available at the Parent Information Nights on October 12, October 26 and Open House November 13, 2011. Forms will also be available at PaduaFranciscan.com in early October. The deadline to submit financial aid applications (PSAS forms) was November 30, 2011 for incoming 8th grade students (Class of 2016).  The next application will be available the week of January 9, 2012 and the deadline will be March 1, 2012.   

Financial Aid Forms for the 2012–2013 School Year

The Private School Aid Service Application that will be used for evaluating qualification for Padua Franciscan High School’s Financial Aid Scholarships as well as the Diocesan Financial Aid can no longer be printed from here (* the financial aid deadline has expired).  A new application must be submitted annually for consideration of a financial aid award and/or continuation in the Padua’s lunch program.

This one applicaton is all that needs to be completed for each family for consideration of both scholarships.  If you also have students in other Catholic schools within the diocese, you still only need complete one application.  This application must be returned with all requested attachments to Private School Aid Services before the March 1, 2012, deadline in order to be considered for financial aid awards for the 2012–2013 academic year.  The form must be completed in its entirety and mailed directly to Private School Aid Services with the required attachments and the $24 processing fee.

Please remember that this application will also be used to determine eligibility for Padua Franciscan High School’s free and reduced lunch program for the 2012–2013 academic year.  Even if you qualified for the program in the past, you must again complete the application for the next school year.  It is the only method used by Padua to determine quailification for the program.

Please do not miss this opportunity to submit your application as no financial aid awards can be made without an evaluation having been completed.  If you have any questions, please contact the Padua Business Office.

*This Student Aid Form can be completed directly on your computer screen by placing the cursor at the appropriate fields and typing in the information. You must then print the completed form and mail it and the required attachments. Save it to your computer for your records.

To apply for DTA, a family must first complete the PSAS application mentioned above. Each family will be evaluated and grants awarded based upon financial need as it relates to the family’s obligations. The dollar values of the grants vary according to need.
