Financial Aid

More than $3.9 million was offered in need-based financial aid for the 2024-2025 school year. We strive to make St. Christopher’s affordable to families at a wide range of income levels. All financial aid is need-based. St. Christopher's does not offer merit, academic, artistic or athletic scholarships.

Financial information is held in strictest confidence and is reviewed only by those directly responsible for determining need. Admission decisions are made independently of finances; a family is informed of a grant after admission is offered.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

St. Christopher's offers need-based financial aid to make a Saints' education affordable to families at all income levels. For the 2025-2026 school year, St. Christopher's will use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need.

To apply, please create an account with Clarity and follow the instructions. The application typically takes 30 minutes or less to complete. There is a $60 application fee, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application, such as St. Catherine's.

Clarity is mobile-friendly, and your 1040 and W-2 documents from 2023 will transfer automatically from the IRS when you complete the verification step.

For returning families, the deadline to complete the financial aid application is November 15, 2024.

For prospective families, the deadline to complete the financial aid application is January 15, 2025.

If you need assistance, please contact Clarity at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752.
