We Care.
Tuition and Financial Assistance
Our mission is to make Catholic school affordable and accessible for as many families who desire it as possible. Let's work together to find a solution for your family!
For the 2022-2023 school year, Consortium families were awarded nearly $400,000 in financial aid.
Approximately 51 percent of our more than 1,700 students receive some amount of financial assistance.
Our six Catholic schools include: Holy Cross, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Bernadette, Sts. Peter and Paul, St. Thomas More and Dual Language Academy.
Full Tuition Rate for the 2023-2024 School Year: $3,545 for one child in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade for consortium parishoiners, non consortium parishioner tuition is $4,045.
Preschool and PreK rates range between $1,400 - $4,860 depending upon number of days per week attending the program. This is an average monthly payment between just $140-486.
More info on rates and registration here.
Discounts are available for families with multiple children and based upon other factors.
The Dual Language Academy has its own customized tuition tiers based upon the school's bilingual, immersive curriculum.
There are many pathways to receive help with tuition. Catholic school is more affordable than you may think.
About our Tuition Assistance Process:
To apply for tuition assistance from any of our schools, the application is the same and begins with the Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF).
We are grateful to partner with CSF in their tuition management process. CSF has its own income level qualifications. If your income is above the levels listed, OCSC schools will still consider your application. After CSF has distributed its funds, typically by July, our office processes the remaining applications to award our own assistance funds. It is possible that families may receive both sources of assistance.

NOTES:
The application window for Children's Scholarship Fund's own awards has closed as of May 6, 2022, but you are still able to submit an application through their platform at either link for us to consider. No family will be turned away for an inability to pay full tuition rates.
Even if you are unsure if you need or will qualify for tuition assistance, you are invited to complete our online application for Omaha Catholic School Consortium assistance funds.
Are you a member of any of our 16 supporting parishes? Parish offices are a good place to contact for additional assistance.
"Thank you for trusting us with your child(ren)'s education. It is an honor we take very seriously." - Mike Goetz, Executive Director, Omaha Catholic School Consortium
