Step 4: School Review and Notification
The Cathedral School’s Financial Aid Committee reviews each financial aid application and determines the grant based on the family’s need. Admissions decisions and financial aid awards are communicated at the same time.
Note: Families who do not apply or who do not qualify for financial aid in a given year will not be eligible to apply for tuition assistance the following year. Barring extenuating circumstances, the family must wait until a second full academic year has expired before re-applying for financial aid.
