Tuition & Financial Aid

Holy Name of Jesus School strives to provide the highest quality education while still maintaining reasonable tuition rates. The school receives aid from the Parish; therefore, charges are higher for those not supporting Holy Name of Jesus Parish. Understanding the costs of raising a family, tuition is liberally graduated to reduce the average costs per child for multi-child families.
 
2024-2025 PK3-7th Grade Tuition & Fees
2024-2025 Little Gators Tuition & Fees

Holy Name of Jesus prides itself on making a difference in the lives of our students by offering differentiated instruction and diverse course offerings. We also have extensive programming in place to support students who need a little extra help. We are pleased to offer that same level of support to our families again, recognizing that some of our families need a little extra support financially in order to continue to afford to send their children to Holy Name of Jesus School. We encourage you to apply for these tuition assistance programs.

• Holy Name of Jesus Tuition Assistance Program

Holy Name of Jesus partners with FACTS, your regular tuition portal, to make applying for tuition assistance easy. FACTS analyzes families’ financial information, including income, assets, debt, number of dependents, monthly income, and expenses. Applications for this scholarship will open on February 15, 2025. The Tuition Review Committee then assesses the need for tuition assistance and makes decisions based on the following:

• FACTS confidential recommendation,

• The number of families seeking tuition assistance, 

• The amount of tuition assistance that is available at the given time is based on our budget, and

• Your overall involvement in Holy Name of Jesus Parish and School.

Who Qualifies

• All students entering PK3 through 7th grade.

• Interested families must complete the FACTS application each year in order to be considered for a reduced rate of tuition. Log into our FACTS tuition portal and click on the Financial Aid/Grant button. The program will guide you through the process. Submit your applications as early as possible. Initial decisions will be made the week of June 2, 2025. If you have questions along the way, please contact Debra Ordoyne at [email protected].
