Loretto Tuition Assistance & Scholarships
Who can apply? Any registered Loretto family, grades PK-3 through 12th, may apply. All aid is based on financial need, but specific scholarships have different requirements.
How do I get the application? Apply by verifying tax information on FACTS. We encourage families to also apply for ACE and Diocesan scholarships if they meet the requirements. https://online.factsmgt.com/aid
The first step is income verification. This allows Loretto to determine the total number of families who qualify for assistance. The financial aid committee also makes recommendations for students who may qualify for additional scholarships. Those students will be asked to complete a separate paper application in spring 2024 to apply for special scholarships (such as our Judges’ scholarship for seniors and others with specific criteria).
When is it due? Please note that tuition assistance is given on a first-come, first-serve basis and there is more assistance available in the earlier rounds when the committee reviews applications. Please apply early. You must be registered to receive financial aid. The first round will be in late April/early May.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding tuition assistance, please contact the business office at 915-566-8400.
Loretto Academy participates in a unique scholarship program called the Challenge Program. It is separate from our Tuition Assistance, with different application requirements and different opportunities.
Learn MoreTuition Assistance Expectations
Students’ grades, attendance, behavior, and cooperation will be evaluated when awarding assistance. Students receiving tuition assistance are expected to abide by the following:
- Maintain passing grades each semester.
- Be examples of good Christian behavior both in and out of school.
- Complete work-study hours. (Applicable to middle and high school students only.)
- Provide updates and thank-you notes to donors.
Failure to abide by the tuition assistance expectations or receiving a suspension are grounds to terminate tuition assistance during that school year.
With your support, we can continue educating young leaders, make our school more inclusive with the addition of an elevator, support more students with tuition assistance, retain and attract highly-qualified educators, and maintain and improve our school grounds.
