Scholarships & Assistance
It is our goal to make sure that all families have access to the quality Catholic education that Nativity provides. We are committed to working with all of our families who are in need of financial assistance within the guidelines of our school budget. Regardless of your financial position, you may apply for financial aid at Nativity.
All financial aid awards are based on need. Families interested in applying for financial assistance are asked to fill out the application under “Financial Aid” on the TADS website. You will be asked to provide a variety of information regarding your financial and family situation. Please allow adequate time as there are several sections to the application. The deadline for applying for financial aid for the 2024-25 school year is February 23, 2024.
Please note that Financial Aid awards do not carry over and you must re-apply each year.
