Welcome to the Archdiocese of New York Financial Aid Application for the 2025-2026 School Year
Funding for awards is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier families complete their applications, the better their chances of receiving financial assistance.
We do not inquire about the immigration status of any family for purposes of admissions or financial assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions

All students entering kindergarten and new students entering grades 1-8. Preschool students are not eligible for financial assistance. Eligible returning and high school students will receive invitations to apply.
What is the deadline for submitting a Financial Assistance application?
Financial assistance applications will be available in early December 2024 and will continue to be accepted as funds are available. The earlier students apply, the better their chances of receiving financial assistance.
Who qualifies for Financial Assistance?
Financial assistance is determined by the family size and income.
We are committed to making a Catholic education affordable for every child. However, our resources are limited, and we are unable to provide FREE tuition for any child. Given that, and because we do not want the choice of a Catholic school to become too great a sacrifice for any family, we require that each family be able to demonstrate a minimum annual income of $15,000 in order to be eligible for financial assistance. If you have questions or concerns about whether your income will meet this standard please do not hesitate to contact our parent helpline at (646) 794-3318.
This is a suggested guideline of incomes used when determining financial need.

- New students will not receive notifications of their financial assistance award until AFTER they have completed their admissions interview visit and been accepted by the school.
