Financial Aid

PLEASE NOTE: THE DEADLINE FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE FAMILY GRANT FUND IS  TUESDAY, APRIL 15TH!

We encourage any family who may benefit from financial assistance to apply. Even if you are unsure whether you qualify, submitting an application allows us to consider your family for additional tuition assistance opportunities that may become available throughout the year.

During this important time of year for so many Catholic school families across the archdiocese who are planning for their children's education, we ask you to please keep the many local generous benefactors and foundations who support our dynamic and diverse community in your prayers.

Tuition Assistance Opportunities

St. Finn Barr Catholic School participates in several financial aid programs. Financial aid awards are based on demonstrated need, available funding, and a family's tuition payment history.

Apply Through TADS

All financial aid applications are completed through TADS Financial Aid Assessment. We encourage families to complete a TADS application as early as possible. TADS provides an opportunity to share your family's financial information, including any special or extenuating circumstances that may impact your situation.

Applications for financial aid for the 2026-2027 school year become available in January. Even if you are not income qualified, we highly recommend that all families who could benefit from assistance complete an application with TADS (www.mytads.com). If the school receives private tuition assistance grants throughout the school year, we use the information from TADS (which allows families to submit a letter outlining extenuating financial circumstances) to help determine the distribution of those funds.
