An Investment in Your Child's Future
A St. Teresa education is an investment in your child's future. Our graduates leave prepared for college, grounded in their Catholic faith, and equipped with the confidence, character, and skills to make a difference in the world.
We believe finances should never prevent a qualified student from experiencing everything St. Teresa has to offer. Through tuition assistance, scholarships, and flexible payment options, we work with families to make a St. Teresa education affordable.
More than $200,000 in tuition assistance is awarded each year through school-funded aid, donor-supported scholarships, parish partnerships, and other financial assistance opportunities.
If you are considering St. Teresa, we encourage you to begin the conversation early. Every family's financial situation is unique, and our Admissions Office is happy to walk you through the options available.

Tuition Assistance
Many St. Teresa families receive some form of tuition assistance. Awards are based on demonstrated financial need and available funding.
Tuition assistance may come from several sources, including:
- FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment
- St. Teresa High School tuition assistance
- Donor-funded scholarships
- Parish support, when available
- Additional scholarship opportunities
Financial assistance is awarded based on demonstrated need and established scholarship criteria. Financial assistance is not awarded based on athletic participation.
Applying for Tuition Assistance
Families seeking tuition assistance complete a confidential FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment application. The information submitted is used solely to determine eligibility for financial assistance and is handled with complete confidentiality.
Because available funding is limited, families are encouraged to complete the application as early as possible. Annual application deadlines are announced each admission cycle.
