Tuition & Financial Aid

At Loyola High School, accessibility is at the heart of our mission as a Jesuit Catholic school. We are committed to welcoming students from all walks of life and ensuring that financial need is never a barrier to a Loyola education.

Financial Aid

Opening Our Doors Wide

Our financial aid program is designed to support qualified students who demonstrate financial need — regardless of academic performance or extracurricular achievement. Through full and partial bursaries, we actively remove social and economic barriers so that students can grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Bursaries are available to provide tuition assistance and additional funding to support extracurricular involvement.

Admission to Loyola is a need-blind, meaning that applying for financial aid has no impact on the admissions decision. Every student is considered based on their character, potential, and curiosity to thrive in our community.

If financial need is demonstrated, either during the application process or throughout your child's time at Loyola, we offer meaningful financial support rooted in equity and compassion. Our goal is to create conditions for every student to flourish as a whole person and to ensure our doors are open to all families of all backgrounds, beliefs and faiths.

Supporting Our Families: Loyola’s Financial Aid Program

Each academic year, through the generosity of the Loyola community, the Loyola High School Foundation provides some level of financial aid to almost 20% of our students. This ensures that a Loyola education remains accessible and manageable for all our families.

Your Path to Financial Aid: A Simple Application Process

At Loyola, we believe that every family should feel welcome to apply for financial aid. We understand that each family’s financial situation is unique, and our evaluation process takes into account your specific circumstances, including assets, liabilities, and total dependents.

To make the process straightforward, applications are made through Apple Financial Services. They conduct a thorough assessment on Loyola’s behalf and provide a recommendation that helps us understand what each family can reasonably contribute towards tuition. Our Financial Aid Committee then carefully reviews these recommendations and approves the final financial aid grants. Loyola will always notify families in writing of the committee’s decision.

Occasionally, the Financial Aid Committee may request a meeting to clarify information prior to approval of the final grants, ensuring we have a complete picture.

Please note that financial aid grants are for one academic year. If your financial need continues, we kindly ask families to reapply each year. We trust that all information provided in your application is accurate and truthful. In the rare instance that false information is knowingly provided, a student’s standing at Loyola may be reviewed, and financial aid could be repealed retroactively.

Maintaining Your Privacy and Confidentiality

At Loyola we are deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy throughout our financial aid process. To protect the integrity and anonymity of our program, only essential staff receive financial aid information, strictly on a need-to-know basis. Loyola also encourages applicants and recipients to maintain confidentiality regarding their application and award, helping us uphold this standard of privacy for everyone.
