Apply for Tuition Assistance

At Holy Spirit Prep, our tuition assistance program provides support for students who would not be able to attend our school otherwise. The application process for financial aid is simple and allows us to analyze a family’s financial position so we can determine how to best assist them. All admissions decisions are made independently of a family’s ability to pay.

How to Apply

Complete our application process by submitting the required documents through School and Student Services (SSS). SSS processes the information that families provide regarding income, assets, debts, and equity, and then forwards HSP a Report of Family Contribution (RFC), which we use as a guideline for aid awards.
