Tuition Assistance
Central Catholic High School has established a tradition of scholastic and personal achievement that is second-to-none among secondary schools. We understand that the cost of an excellent program is significant, and we are committed to making this experience available for all students, regardless of their ability to pay. Candidates for admission are considered solely on the merits of their academic ability and character, and the need for financial aid has no bearing on admission.
To apply for financial aid, go to the Financial Assistance page and complete FACTS Tuition Assistance & Scholarship online application. Please contact Katie Sanchez in the Business Office at (210)225.6794 x206. with questions related to Tuition or Tuition Assistance.

APPLYING FOR TUITION ASSISTANCE (FACTS) |
| FACTS is a third party that helps Central Catholic in assessing and verifying the tuition assistance needs of a family. Families interested in applying for assistance will need to complete a Financial Needs Assessment (FACTS Tuition Assistance and Scholarship Application). Our school code is 1611. Unless otherwise stated, all forms of tuition assistance and scholarships require a FACTS application. Fully complete the application and submit all required documents by the deadline in order to be considered for tuition |
| HOPE FOR THE FUTURE |
The Financial Needs Assessment in FACTS can be reviewed for additional tuition assistance by Hope for the Future, a tuition assistance program by the Archdiocese of San Antonio available to Catholic and non-Catholic students who meet eligibility requirements and enroll in one of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. This program is separate from Central Catholic's tuition assistance; therefore, Hope for the Future has its own deadlines and notification dates. Families may have to submit the FACTS application twice to be considered specifically for Hope for the Future. Learn more here.
