TUITION & ASSISTANCE

At Our Lady Academy, we believe that a faith-filled, high-quality education should be accessible to all families who desire it. We understand that investing in your daughter’s future is a significant commitment, and we are proud to offer tuition assistance to help make an OLA education possible for as many students as we can.

 

Our tuition assistance program is designed to support families based on financial need. Through a confidential and thoughtful application process, we work with each family to assess their unique circumstances and offer aid that reflects our shared commitment to Catholic education. Assistance is awarded annually and can help ease the financial burden without compromising the quality of the student experience.

 

We encourage any family who is concerned about affordability to apply. At OLA, we are more than a school—we are a community that believes in walking together, supporting one another, and opening doors to opportunity. With the help of generous donors and the ongoing support of our school community, we remain committed to ensuring that no qualified student is turned away because of financial barriers.

ASSISTANCE RESOURCES

In order to be eligible for financial aid and endowed scholarships, you must apply for ACE Scholarships and apply through FACTS Financial Aid. Both must be completed by April 15, 2026 to be considered for financial aid.
