Tuition Assistance & Scholarship

Tuition assistance is based on financial need. Rosary Academy aims to be affordable and fair to all who apply, regardless of race, religion, or other demographic background. However, due to the increased demand but limited funding, all award decisions are made based on relative need.

All Tuition assistance recipients must adhere to the following requirements:

• Student must maintain a 2.5 GPA throughout the school year in which Tuition assistance is received.
• Student must be in good disciplinary standing and up-to-date on community service hour requirements for the year.
• Families receiving tuition assistance are required to set-up a payment plan in FACTS and stay current on their monthly tuition/fee payments to maintain their award throughout the year in which tuition assistance is received.
• Families receiving tuition assistance are required to volunteer at main Rosary fundraiser events such as Cracked Crab or Red Wine & Gold.
• The full amount of tuition assistance is pro-rated over the entire academic school year in which aid is received.
• Every family must keep their tuition award confidential; awards may be revoked if shared or in case the above guidelines are not kept. As we hold all personal and financial information in the strictest confidence, we expect every family to do the same.
• Please understand that tuition assistance is processed through FACTS, and it should not be confused with the set-up of a tuition & fees payment plan in FACTS, which is required annually in the admission and re-enrollment process.

• All tuition assistance applications must be completed through FACTS Grant & Aid, which is the online service provider that processes tuition assistance applications for most private schools. 
• FACTS Grant & Aid charges an application fee of $40 per family, which families pay online upon submission of their applications.
• As part of the application process, applicants are required to upload copies of their tax documents directly to FACTS Grant & Aid. A complete copy of the federal income tax return, is required, with all supporting schedules, forms, and W2's. Please refrain from sending your documents to the school.
• New families may submit the prior year's tax returns and W2’s. 
• Returning families must submit the most recent year tax returns and W2’s; however if not available the prior year would be accepted.
• New families must submit their completed application for admission to have their tuition assistance application considered.
• Returning families must be fully registered for the coming school year to have their tuition assistance application considered. 

• Completed applications received by the deadlines listed on the Tuition Aid calendar will be verified by FACTS and awards will be communicated within three weeks.
• Awards decisions are made by the Rosary Academy Tuition assistance Committee, based on verified information by FACTS Grant & Aid, the financial needs of each applicant family, the number of applicants and their needs, and are subject to available funds.
• All financial and personal and information uploaded to or provided by FACTS Grant & Aid are highly confidential.

• Awards letters are communicated through FACTS, and families are required to keep their award confidential. Awards will be revoked if shared.

With the understanding that financial situations could change, families who have received an initial award letter are allowed to appeal their tuition assistance award decision. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee additional funding, nor does it excuse from meeting payment due dates or making other payment arrangements while the appeal is in process.

To appeal an award, families must return this completed appeal form with a typed letter of explanation and all documentation to:
