You will be notified if your daughter will receive an academic scholarship or other tuition assistance in February.

One of the most significant scholarship opportunities relates to the High School Placement Test which is administered in December and January to all students planning on attending a Catholic high school. Students who score in the 98th to 99th percentile on the High School Placement Test receive a $3,000 scholarship, renewable each year of high school. In addition, students who score in the top 90th to 97th percentile on the test earn scholarship money ranging from $500 to $2,000 per year for their freshman year, renewable their sophomore year.

Providing your daughter with educational excellence and the opportunity to participate in clubs, sports, spiritual retreats and community service all contributes to a well-rounded experience. If education is a top priority for your family, it means making a financial investment in your daughter's future. Our partnership with you also includes the expertise of our full-time College Counselor who will work with you and your daughter through the college selection, application and scholarship process. Our College Counselor is the only Certified Education Planner at any area high school. Your investment in St. Ursula is an investment in the future success of your daughter.

We accept the responsibility to work in partnership with families. In 2007, SUA provided approximately $850,000 in tuition assistance to over 60% of our student population.

Students who excel academically are rewarded at St. Ursula. Each scholarship has specific criteria that must be met in order to be considered such as grade point average, financial need, and attendance at a local Catholic grade school.

The TAP established by the Diocese of Toledo offers grants to qualified minority students upon application through the St. Ursula Finance Office. This program operates on a sliding scale and is based upon a family's household income and ability to pay tuition.

To help St. Ursula tuition fit into your family's monthly budget, SUA participates in the FACTS Tuition Management Program. This is an interest-free plan that breaks up the tuition payment into ten monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual payments that are directly drafted from your banking account beginning in August. A one-time administrative fee of $150 is required along with your application.

Reduce your tuition payments by purchasing certificates through SUA to use at area retailers such as grocery stores, gas stations, discount stores and entertainment venues. A percentage of each certificate is refunded to reduce your tuition account.

All applications are screened by an internal committee at St. Ursula based upon family need and desire to provide an education at St. Ursula. Deadline for incoming freshmen to apply is January 8, 2008. The Financial Aid application for current students is due March 2, 2008; click here to print the application form.

If your daughter has a strong work ethic and is willing to help defray tuition costs by working at St. Ursula, she can earn up to $1,300 per year and reduce her tuition expense accordingly. Students are asked to work one hour per day in the morning before school starts and/or one hour per day in the afternoon after school, every week during the school year. Tasks assigned generally include light maintenance work in the classrooms.
