Financial Assistance

The Catholic Education Foundation, the Archdiocese of Louisville and our funding partners are growing to meet the needs of families who cannot afford the full cost of educating their children in a Catholic elementary school. Here’s some additional information about the program.

Catholic schools remain accessible by offering a wide range of tuition assistance options. Tuition assistance is available from:

  • Archdiocese of Louisville
  • Catholic Education Foundation
  • Catholic High Schools
  • Parishes
 

Last year, more than $13.5 million was given to Catholic school students. All tuition assistance, applications, and procedures are handled through the FACTS Management application with one form that can be obtained through your school or online at www.ceflou.org. Even if you have students in more than one Catholic school, you can apply for all of your children on one form.  FACTS Management is an independent, third-party service that provides reasonable assessments of the ability of families to pay tuition at private and parochial schools. For more information about FACTS and the application, visit here. Copies of the FACTS Management analysis and forms are shared only with the contracting parish, school or agency; no one else will receive this information. High school tuition assistance is communicated to families directly by the high school; elementary tuition assistance will be communicated to you from the Catholic Education Foundation in the spring.

All families with one or more children enrolled in or applying to a Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Louisville are eligible to apply. Parish membership is not required in order to receive tuition assistance from high schools, the Catholic Education Foundation or for the 200% of poverty discount. Parish membership is required for the new Archdiocesan Voucher Fund and for assistance directly from a parish.
