Tuition & Affordability

At Saint Thomas Aquinas, we are committed to making a Catholic education affordable to all.

As a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, we strive to offer financial assistance to families who desire a Catholic education. Since our inception in 1988, the mission has always been to make tuition affordable and accessible to students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.

Over 1.7 million awarded yearly in financial assistance.

Financial Assistance

We are happy to assist families who demonstrate a genuine financial need based on their income, family size, employment, expenses, priorities for spending, and unique circumstances.

Saint Thomas Aquinas uses FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, an independent, outside provider, to collect a variety of financial information, including income, assets, and expenses, to objectively evaluate each family’s financial needs. The funds will be distributed in the most equitable way possible taking each family's circumstances into consideration. Please note, that we reserve the option to deny a family's application if they do not qualify.

How To Apply for Financial Assistance

STEP 1:

Apply to Saint Thomas Aquinas. Upon acceptance, complete the FACTS aid application. 

The Priority Deadline is December 15. Applications can be submitted up to January 31, however, they will be subject to available funds.

STEP 2:

Awards are automatically uploaded to the FACTS accounts of registered families.
