Financial Aid - St Pius X Grants & Work Study
In addition to available discounts, families may apply for assistance based on financial need.  The assistance provides part, rather than all, of the cost of tuition.

Two types of financial aid are available to those who qualify - Grants and Work Study.  Grants are awarded based on financial need and are a direct reduction of tuition.  Work Study is also based on financial need and will reduce tuition by the number of hours a student works for the school.  A financial aid application must be completed in order to be considered for grants and/or work study.

St. Pius X benefactors provide much of the funding for financial aid through their generosity to the Annual Fund.

The deadline for Finanical Aid applications was December 17th, 2018.  Financial Aid has been distributed for the 2019-2020 school year.

FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will be conducting the financial need analysis for St. Pius X High School for the 2019-2020 school year.  In order to process an application, FACTS must receive a $30 non-refundable application fee.  In addition, 2017 tax documents must be submitted to FACTS to substantiate the financial aid application.

Click here to begin the financial aid application.  Questions?  A FACTS Customer Care Representative is available to assist at 866.441.4637

Families who are enrolled and complete the financial aid application by the deadline (December 17th) will insure they receive first consideration in the awarding of financial aid and will receive their determination email in mid-February.  Completed applications received after the deadline will be assessed on a first come, first serve basis after the initial allocation process, if funding becomes available.

Please know that an application for financial aid does not guarantee that aid will be awarded.
