Dear Cougar Family-
As part of our Marianist mission, we strive for all families to feel that an exceptional high school experience is both a valuable investment and an accessible option. Each year, the Board of Directors sets a tuition rate that is affordable to families and which at the same time covers our operating costs and helps retain our exceptional faculty amidst rising inflation. Tuition will be increased to $13,675 for the 2026-2027 academic year.
We are proud that Gross Catholic maintains one of the lowest tuition rates among 9-12 private and Catholic high schools in the region. Thanks to generous donors, disciplined financial management, and timely tuition payments, we are also proud to offer several opportunities to reduce tuition costs for families who demonstrate genuine financial need. Recognizing that many families have this need, we do ask that you acknowledge your responsibility to make Catholic education tuition a priority and to be
willing to make reasonable financial sacrifices to provide your children the benefit of an education rooted deeply in Catholic faith and practice.
Because every family's situation is unique, we recommend all families apply for tuition assistance. I wholeheartedly thank you for your support and partnership in this transformational mission.
Stephen P. Eubanks
President
Financial Aid Application Process
All tuition assistance is given on the basis of demonstrated need. In order to provide impartiality and fairness to all families, need is assessed by FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment, a third-party provider. Only families who complete the FACTS evaluation process are eligible for tuition assistance.
Applications are reviewed by a Tuition Assistance Committee that determines the amount of aid available based on income, household size, and other factors. All information it reviews, financial or otherwise, is held in strict confidentiality. Once the application process is completed, FACTS will forward your needs assessment to Gross Catholic. Our Tuition Assistance Committee will use this information to determine your level of financial assistance. Application evaluations start in February and we plan to send individual tuition agreements to families throughout March and April.
To be eligible for any financial assistance, families are required to apply through the FACTS Grant and Aid portal by February 1st. There is no guarantee of aid, so we encourage families to apply early. https://online.factsmgt.com/aid You will need your 2024 or 2025 Tax Return and copies of your W2(s) to submit with your application.
There is a $45 application fee and the deadline to apply for tuition aid is February 1, 2026. If you are applying for aid at multiple schools through FACTS you only need to complete one application, you are able to list multiple schools in the application. FACTS Customer Service (866) 441-4637.
