Our Lady of Hope is dedicated to providing an affordable Catholic education.

The cost to educate each student is over $5,000 per year. But most pay far less. This is made possible through the generous support of our area parishes and many other benefactors. But our own families help keep OLH affordable by participating in many programs that keep tuition low.

Below please find BOTH fundraising opportunities in which our school participates. Funds raised through these programs to to cover the operating costs of the school not covered by tuition. These are no-impact programs that take advantage of “free money” from major companies.  Programs like SCRIP, Amazon Smiles and BoxTops generate money for the school with cash back rewards for shopping.

Also, please find ways that you can access need-based scholarships for families who want a Catholic education but cannot afford the increasing cost of tuition

Many scholarships and grants are available for families who qualify. Financial Aid opportunities consist of FACTS, Children's Scholarship, Bridge Foundation, Kremer Foundation, Memorial Scholarship Program, Joseph Concila Scholarships in the name of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Contact the school to apply

“I got one month of free tuition from SCRIP!”

It’s true! This is the easiest way to lower your tuition costs.  And it is so simple!  Really! Buy gift cards for just about anything: Local supermarkets, gas stations, clothing stores and much more!  You get the FULL VALUE of the gift card you buy.

BUT… a percent of that gift card is donated back to the school and to YOUR TUTION.

Christmas gifts. Birthdays. Anniversaries.  How many of these occasions do you have each year?  How many gift cards do you already buy?  Why not buy them at school and SAVE on tuition. Email [email protected] to get your SCRIP form.

Many generous benefactors have contributed thousands of dollars over the years for scholarships that directly benefit Our Lady of Hope students. Thank you for your generosity.  With your help, we can offer families financial assistance in addition to other scholarships.  We can also offer families emergency tuition assistance on a case-by-case basis.
