Catholic schools are seeing growth in enrollment as more families recognize the advantages of small communities, uplifting support and rigorous education enhanced by a faith-based environment.
CEF supports more than half of the Catholic schools in our Archdiocese with scholarships to provide tuition assistance for students. Families that seek a truly supportive environment for their students -- where children are taught to love and serve their neighbor, in addition to meeting rigorous academic standards -- will like what they see when they visit and explore our schools.
CEF Scholarships Offer Life-Changing Benefits
A CEF scholarship can make Catholic education possible for your child, opening the door to excellent, in-person learning in a supportive environment. Students are seeing life-changing outcomes:
- CEF scholarship recipients achieve a 100% graduation rate, compared to 69% of their peers in other schools.*
- A child who is black or Latino is 42% more likely to graduate from high school if he or she attends Catholic school.**
- Nearly 97% of CEF graduates go on to college or career training, compared with 45% of their peers in other schools.
Catholic schools in the Archdiocese are enrolling now for the 2022-23 school year. All offer financial aid solutions and most offer tuition-assistance or tax credit scholarships from Catholic Education Foundation. Contact the school of your choice to inquire about scholarships and financial assistance.
