Diocesan Tuition Grant Program

The Diocese of Arlington Office of Catholic Schools engages the services of a third-party independent financial assessment company (FACTS Management) to manage financial aid applications and assess the financial need of each student applying for tuition assistance. Any student receiving tuition assistance must have a completed FACTS financial aid application.

To apply for tuition assistance, complete one FACTS financial aid application and submit all required tax documents (including all supplemental schedules and forms, if applicable) by the following due dates:

• Elementary and middle school students: March 14, 2026.
• 2025 tax returns and W-2s must be submitted by this due date.
• Tuition assistance awards are granted for one academic year only and are based on each family’s
  demonstrated financial need.

Who is Eligible?

The Diocesan Tuition Assistance Program provides tuition assistance to families in Diocese of Arlington
Catholic schools through funding from diocesan parishes as well as the Rooted in Faith~Forward in Hope Capital Campaign Endowment. Individual schools determine the amount and the distribution of all awards for each academic year. Families are notified by schools of award decisions.

Important Notes:

1. All families with children enrolled in both high school and elementary school must submit the application by the January high school deadline.
2. Diocesan Tuition Grant Program awards are made for one academic year. Returning student families must complete a new application for each year that the student enrolls.
3. All applications and supporting documentation must be received by FACTS by the deadlines listed above to be considered. Only complete applications will be considered. Late applications will be handled as they arrive and as funds allow.
4. Families interested in applying for Tuition Assistance for All Saints’ Pre-Kindergarten Program are also invited to complete the FACTS process. Although pre-kindergarten students are not eligible for financial assistance through the diocese, the analysis provided by FACTS will guide the process for determining disbursements from funding through our school and parish.

How Much is Awarded?

Awards are made for one academic year and are based on each family’s demonstrated financial need. Individual schools make the determination on the amount and distribution of all awards for each academic year. All Saints will contact families when award decisions have been made. Once these final award decisions have been made, the Office of Catholic Schools directs the funds from the Diocesan Tuition Grant Program to the schools for credit to the tuition accounts of approved families.
