Nolan Catholic High School's Philosophy of Financial Aid

As a Catholic Marianist institution in the Diocese of Fort Worth, we want to provide every qualified student the opportunity to attend Nolan Catholic High School. We are committed to making a Catholic education more affordable for all students.

At Nolan Catholic High School, the responsibility for funding a student's educational expenses lies with the parents and the student. For those who cannot pay the full cost, Nolan Catholic High School, through its Financial Aid Program, provides assistance. All of the financial aid awarded is distributed as need-based aid. Nolan Catholic believes this is the most equitable way to distribute aid while ensuring that students of all economic backgrounds find a Nolan Catholic High School education accessible.

Nolan Catholic High School wants to distribute financial aid as fairly as possible, recognizing some families need more assistance than others. Each family completes a Financail Aid application and the family's financial data is run through a standard analysis to detrmine their ability to contribute toward tuition. Financial aid is awarded based upon this analysis.

At the present time, Nolan Catholic does not fully fund any student's tuition. To this end, each family will need to contribute a portion of the cost of educating a student.

A Nolan Catholic High School education is an investment in the future of each student. The Nolan Catholic experience is made for the long term and it will pay dividends well into the future.
