Tuition & Assistance

TUITION AT OLPH

At OLPH, we strive to provide our students with an excellent education. While tuition covers a significant portion of the cost of attendance, it does not cover everything. To ensure that families do not have additional out-of-pocket expenses, we require student fees to be paid each year. These fees go towards things like textbooks, supplies, technology, and field trips. By paying these fees, families can rest assured that their children will have access to all of the resources and experiences they need to succeed.

TUITION ASSISTANCE

FACTS Grant & Aid online application opens on October 22, 2021. (Click here to apply.) The application takes approximately 25 minutes to complete. We suggest starting the application and uploading your 2020 federal tax return as soon as possible. Applications and tax forms must be submitted by December 30, 2021.

 

HOW TO APPLY

OLPH awards tuition assistance using a needs-based evaluation (FACTS Grant & Aid online application) for Catholic families who could not otherwise afford to attend. Families are required to apply each school year and submit the required tax documentation by the deadline in order to be considered for tuition assistance. There is a $40 application fee due at the time of application submission. Catholic families must also submit a completed Parish Affiliation Form signed by their pastor in order to apply for tuition assistance.




STEP 1

Complete the FACTS Grant & Aid application by clicking on the button below. The online application opens in October, and takes approximately 25 minutes to complete. We suggest starting the application and uploading your prior year federal tax return as soon as possible. Applications and tax forms must be submitted by December 30.


STEP 2

Once your application is verified, which can take up to two weeks, our tuition coordinator Christina Bello will contact you for a brief review and interview. Should you have question before the interview please contact her at belloc@myndhs365.com

ESA & EFS Programs

In addition to OLPH tuition assistance, families may qualify for Tennessee state programs like Education Savings Account (ESA) and Education Freedom Scholarship (EFS).

Tennessee Education Savings Account &

Tennessee Education Freedom Scholarship

OLPH is proud to be a vendor of the Tennessee Education Savings Account Program (ESA) and the Tennessee Education Freedom Scholarship (EFS). Different than our Tuition Assistance Program, the ESA and EFS allow eligible families the opportunity to apply for scholarships for educational expenses including tuition. Once accepted, families will be able to receive the designated scholarship amount so long as their eligibility does not change. 


This is a third party program that is offered through the state, not the school. Interested families need to apply through the resources listed below. Our dedicated team is here to help accepted families through the finalization process.
