Our Financial Assistance for Catholic School Tuition at St. Agnes

Pursuing quality education often comes with a hefty price tag in today's educational landscape. For many families in Houston, Texas, who aspire to provide their children with a faith-based education, St. Agnes Academy is a beacon of academic excellence intertwined with Catholic values.

However, the cost of tuition can be a significant barrier for some families. Fortunately, St. Agnes Academy is committed to ensuring financial constraints do not hinder deserving students from accessing its transformative educational experience.

Below, we will explore the various avenues of financial assistance for Catholic school tuition, specifically for families seeking high school enrollment for their daughters at St. Agnes Academy.

Established in 1906 by the Dominican Sisters of Houston, St. Agnes Academy has a rich tradition of providing young women with a holistic education that fosters intellectual growth, spiritual development, and service to others.

Recognizing the importance of making this education accessible to all, the school offers both partial and full tuition assistance to meet the diverse needs of its student body.

One of the primary avenues of financial assistance at St. Agnes Academy is the need-based tuition assistance program. The process of applying for tuition includes families demonstrating their financial need by submitting the necessary documentation – such as tax returns and income statements – through our secure online portal.

Based on this information, the school's financial aid committee evaluates each application and determines the amount of assistance that can be awarded to eligible students. This assistance can cover a portion or, in some cases, the entirety of tuition costs, thereby ensuring that economic circumstances do not hinder a student's ability to enroll at St. Agnes Academy.

Beyond the formal assistance program, St. Agnes encourages families to explore external scholarship opportunities offered by community organizations, foundations, and other sources. 

These scholarships, which may be based on factors such as ethnicity, heritage, or area of study, can provide additional financial support to supplement tuition assistance from the school. Take a look at this article to learn more about how to apply for Catholic school scholarships.

In addition to financial assistance, St. Agnes Academy also offers flexible payment plans to accommodate the diverse financial circumstances of its families. These plans allow families to spread out tuition payments over the course of the academic year, easing the burden of large upfront costs and ensuring that education remains affordable and accessible.

It's important to note that while financial assistance programs can significantly reduce the cost of tuition, families are still responsible for covering certain expenses, such as textbooks, uniforms, and extracurricular activities. The financial aid committee will award grants for tuition and required laptops only. However, St. Agnes Academy strives to minimize these additional costs through initiatives such as used textbooks and uniform summer sales.

St. Agnes in Houston, Texas, is dedicated to ensuring that a quality Catholic education is within reach for all students, regardless of their financial circumstances. Through need-based assistance and flexible payment plans, the academy strives to remove barriers to enrollment and empower students to pursue their academic and spiritual growth.

For families considering St. Agnes Academy for their daughters, these financial assistance programs serve as a testament to the school's commitment to educational equity and social justice.
