Understanding Holy Name High School Tuition and Financial Aid Options
Navigating the costs associated with private education can be daunting. Holy Name High School understands this and strives to partner with families to make a Holy Names education accessible to all qualified students. This article provides a comprehensive overview of tuition costs, payment plans, and financial aid opportunities available at Holy Name High School.
Tuition Costs

Financial Aid Opportunities
Holy Name School recognizes that families have varying financial needs and make financial sacrifices to provide their children with a strong academic education. Many families request financial assistance. Awards are made for a one-year period, and families must re-apply each year. As part of its commitment, the school strives to partner with families to make sure that a Holy Names education is accessible to all qualified students. Decisions regarding financial aid are made by the Financial Aid Committee on the basis of a family’s demonstrated need and the availability of funds from the school on a first-come-first served basis.
Application Process
Families requesting financial aid must apply for TADS funds before completing the Holy Name Financial Aid application. To qualify for financial aid, families must submit an application and all required supporting materials to FACTS, the online service which processes the school’s financial aid applications.
The application process is fair and confidential, assessed by an outside firm (TADS) that specializes in school financial assistance programs. Financial aid awards are made based on a family's demonstrated need and the availability of school funds.

*Note for Divorced, Separated, and Never Married Parents: To ensure that all families will benefit from third-party evaluations of their financial aid applications, both parental households must complete all the above steps individually. If one parent is not involved in the student’s life, a statement to that effect by a third party who is aware of the situation in a professional capacity (e.g., lawyer or clergy) may be substituted for the financial documents from that parent. The Financial Aid Committee will review your financial aid application once all documentation has been received by FACTS and the student has been officially accepted to Holy Names.
BASIC Fund
The BASIC Fund is a privately funded program dedicated to broadening the educational opportunities for children by helping low-income families afford the cost of tuition at Bay Area private schools.
BASIC Fund scholarships are based on household size and income. Scholarships cover 25%, 50%, or 75% of the family portion of the school’s tuition, up to $2,500 per year per student. The family is responsible for paying the remaining tuition balance, which needs to be at least $500 for each school year.
Families can submit their 2024 Tax Return along with their application, but we highly encourage families to submit their 2025 Tax Return as they won’t be required to update on next year’s renewal application.

Merit-Based Scholarships
Academy of the Holy Names offers merit-based scholarships to students regardless of need. Students who not only meet but exceed the selective admissions standards on entrance exams will be eligible for scholarships ranging from 15 to 25% tuition discount on the family’s tuition contribution.
Holy Names: An Investment in the Future
Holy Names is an investment that offers both immediate and lifelong rewards. The school challenges, supports, recognizes, and loves its students.
Tuition and financial aid can be complicated, and every family has questions. The school encourages families to reach out with any inquiries. They are available to help guide families through the process.
