TUITION, FINANCIAL AID, & SCHOLARSHIPS

Investing in Your Child’s Future

At Althoff Catholic High School, we understand that tuition is a meaningful investment for families—and we believe it’s one that pays lifelong dividends. The education, values, and opportunities your child gains here extend far beyond the classroom.

For Catholic families registered in a Belleville Diocese parish, your parish contributes a student assessment to help offset the cost of tuition. In addition, our scholarship and tuition assistance programs are designed to make an Althoff education more accessible.

  • Last school year, 25% of families received financial assistance, with the average award totaling $1,500.
  • Many students also benefit from academic scholarships, need-based awards, and outside funding that support their journey.

We are committed to working with families to ensure every student called to Althoff Catholic has the opportunity to be here.

FINANCIAL AID

We are committed to helping families make an Althoff Catholic education possible. Each year, our Financial Aid application opens January 6, with a priority deadline of February 13. Families who apply by the priority deadline receive first consideration, as funding after that date is limited.

  • Application Fee: $35
  • Required Documents: Your 2023 (for school year 2025-26) or 2024 (for school year 2026-27) 1040 tax form must be uploaded before your application can be verified and reviewed.
  • Notification: Families who meet the priority deadline will typically receive award letters before March 1.

Even if you believe you may not qualify, we strongly encourage you to apply. Having your application on file allows us to reassess should your financial situation change before the school year begins.

Financial need is assessed through the FACTS Grant & Aid Program. To begin your application, please log in directly to FACTS.

FACTS

SCHOLARSHIPS

Each year, a group of individuals choose to honor the legacy of their loved ones by offering scholarships to our incoming and continuing students.
