For more than half of the students who walk our halls, the transformational experience of a Saint Ignatius education would be only a dream were it not for the generosity of alumni, parents and friends. Through the Annual Fund, Ohio Department of Education Scholarship Programs, and Merit or Endowed Scholarships, we are able to provide students of all backgrounds and situations who wish to attend our school the opportunity to do so. Payment plans are available for families in order to provide the most flexibility possible. We encourage you to view our Frequently Asked Questions document to learn more.
Saint Ignatius High School participates in the Cleveland Scholarship Program, EdChoice Scholarship Program, and EdChoice Expansion Scholarship Program.

- Saint Ignatius High School offers need-based tuition assistance. All prospective students who would like to apply for tuition assistance for the 2024-25 school year must complete a FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to gather and analyze family financial information to assess a parent’s ability to pay tuition. This application must be completed online at: https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3x0VC.

- Families who complete this process will receive an estimated tuition assistance award in writing by early January (with conditional requirement to apply for either the Cleveland, EdChoice, or Expansion scholarship once 2024-2025 forms are available through the Ohio Department of Education).
- Only one application needs to be completed for all high schools to which the student is applying.
- The amount of tuition assistance, if any, is based upon a family’s financial need.

Applications submitted after the deadline and/or with incomplete or inaccurate information may result in reduction or denial of tuition assistance.
