Edgewood High School is committed to supporting families who demonstrate financial need and are seeking a faith-based, college-preparatory education for their children. While we understand that investing in a private Catholic education can be financially challenging, we want to help make this opportunity more accessible. Approximately 40% of Edgewood students receive financial assistance, with grants available up to a maximum of 55% of tuition and standard fees.
To ensure a fair and consistent process, Edgewood uses Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) to assess financial need. TADS collects and audits financial information from each family, providing Edgewood with the necessary data to identify and match need-based assistance. All information submitted through this process is kept confidential. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible to take full advantage of the support available.
Edgewood is grateful to our faithful alumnae and supporters who generously donate to the Crusader Fund and Mazzuchelli Fund to make a meaningful difference in the programs and resources available to our students, and keep an Edgewood education more affordable for families.
Financial Assistance Application Process
While we strive to assist as many families as possible, the availability of financial assistance is limited. Grants are determined by the level of need indicated in the online application, as well as the number of applicants each year. We encourage you to apply early to ensure the best opportunity for support.
