Tuition & Financial Aid

A Holy Cross High School education is an investment into your student’s future. Typically, the amount that most families pay in tuition at Holy Cross is awarded in college scholarships. 

On average, Holy Cross High School awards over $1,000,000 in financial aid and scholarships. This year, 65% of our current student body receives financial assistance.

Holy Cross offers a variety of payment options to accommodate many family budgets, including annual, semi-annual, or twelve month plans and enables families to pay via mail, web, phone, or electronic bill pay. Also, several different methods of payment, such as paper check, electronic check, debit card and wire transfer are accepted. Online access to student accounts is also available.

At the time a student enrolls, a non-refundable registration payment of $500 is paid directly to the school and the parent/guardian responsible for tuition enrolls in a suitable payment plan.

Academic Merit Scholarships for Incoming Freshmen

Holy Cross is committed to rewarding high achieving students for their efforts and accomplishments. Students who take the Holy Cross High School Placement Exam in August, October or November are considered for our Scholarship Program and will be notified of their eligibility.

We do not require an additional scholarship application or materials other than the applicant’s required admissions application, placement exam scores, transcript, personal statement and letter of recommendation to be considered for Academic Merit Scholarships.

President's Scholarships

  • President’s Scholarships are awarded to students who earn the highest score on the Placement Exam. Students must score in the top 10%.
    • Green Award (top 2%) = $12,000 over four years
    • Gold Award (top 3-10%) = $8,000 over four years
Scholarship Opportunities for Enrolled Students

Each winter, Holy Cross distributes the Underclassmen Scholarship Booklet which includes numerous opportunities for current students to apply for scholarships. These will be awarded to defer the cost for the following year’s tuition. These scholarships are funded by alumni and friends of Holy Cross High School.

Financial Aid for Incoming Freshmen and Transfer Students

In keeping with our mission, Holy Cross High School will continue to provide tuition assistance to families with financial need. However, to distribute our tuition assistance in the most effective and just manner, we must seek your cooperation with the disclosure of accurate financial obligation information. 

Holy Cross acknowledges that not all interested families may be able to afford the full cost of tuition. Financial aid may be awarded to those accepted students that apply and qualify for it. Payment plans are also available. Please note that Holy Cross cannot guarantee funding to all applicants who qualify. Holy Cross does not offer financial aid packages equal to the value of half to full tuition. Your financial aid package, when awarded, is guaranteed and renewed annually.

Holy Cross utilizes FACTS, an online service to assist us with financial need assessment. To apply for financial aid, each family must complete a financial aid application online by December 1st. FACTS applications received after this date will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

In divorced/separated families, FACTS Grant & Aid requires the following information to provide Holy Cross High School with an accurate tuition assistance assessment:

  • Parents who are divorced and living in separate households must each separately submit their financial data to FACTS for tuition assistance consideration. 
  • Parents who are separated or divorced and live in the same household may submit one FACTS inclusive of both parents' financial data. If both parents will be responsible for tuition, both parents must separately submit a FACTS application.
