Financial Aid
The Christian Brothers were founded for the purpose of giving “a Christian education to the poor.” However, because our schools in the United States must rely on tuition for their existence, it is through the establishment of scholarship endowments and programs that we can guarantee that no student ever be turned away from our schools solely based on the inability to meet tuition costs.

Because of the generosity of our alumni and benefactors, Saint Patrick High School is able to offer a limited number of tuition grants for families that may be experiencing financial hardship. Shamrocks now successful in life, who realize the solid foundation they were given at Saint Patrick High School and the wonderful experiences they have had here, contribute annually to the future of students. For the 2007-2008 school year, over $600,000 in need-based funding has been awarded to 25% of our student body.
