Jesuit High School Financial Aid Information

In 162 years, no academically qualified young man has been refused admission to Jesuit High School for financial reasons. By virtue of a fund established in 1926 by Mr. Henry C. Prevost, in memory of his son, Francis J. Prevost, Jesuit High School is able to reduce the cost of tuition for students eligible to attend, but whose families are unable to pay full tuition. Scholarship funds that have been established by the school, individuals, and families provide the financial assistance for many deserving students and their families. Collectively, Jesuit’s Endowed Scholarships constitute Jesuit’s endowment fund.    The primary requisite for receiving a financial aid scholarship is the family’s financial inability to pay full tuition. Jesuit does not award academic or athletic scholarships.    The full or partial financial aid scholarship is administered as follows:   ·       The student first must be accepted to Jesuit High School. ·       The parent or guardian should request the financial assistance application packet from Jesuit’s finance office in March (483-3843). ·    The application is for the following academic year. It must be completed and returned, along with the appropriate documents, to the finance office no later than April 30. ·    The application is reviewed by qualified independent consultants who make recommendations directly and confidentially to Fr. Anthony McGinn, S.J., the president of Jesuit High School. ·       The amount of the scholarship grant is certified in writing by Fr. McGinn. ·       The student who is the recipient of financial assistance must consent to accept a work assignment to compensate Jesuit High School, in whole or part, as a condition for receiving assistance. ·    Failure to complete this work assignment will result in the loss of the financial assistance. ·    Jesuit understands the confidential nature of financial aid and does not disclose the names of students or the families who receive such aid.   Thousands of alumni cherish the Jesuit education they received through the availability of this financial assistance program. That tradition continues today. During the 2007-08 school year, numerous families received a total of $350,000 in tuition assistance.  Tuition Home Page Admissions Home
