Hope for the Future Tuition Assistance Program

The Hope for the Future (HFF) Tuition Assistance Program is designed for families and students currently enrolled or applying for the next school year in any Catholic school, grades K-12, in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. A family must apply each year through FACTS Grant and Aid Application to qualify for financial assistance. Each year, awards are offered to Kinder-12th grade students based on available funding. These awards are given to offset current tuition costs for families. Awards are determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to family income, expenses and family size. All students attending Kinder-12th grade in a Catholic school within the Archdiocese of San Antonio are eligible to apply.


Antonian Financial Assistance

Antonian directly provides need-based tuition assistance to enrolled students prioritized by financial need and available funding. Funds are applied directly to the respective student’s tuition account. Funding does not automatically carry forward each year—an application must be submitted for each subsequent year of enrollment.
