Find Support
The Diocese of Providence believes that children from all walks of life should have access to a Catholic education. In support of this, the Diocese sponsors a tuition assistance program for children of modest means in grades K-12. All Diocesan aid is given on the basis of demonstrated need. Need is assessed by a third party provider, FACTS Management.

How to Apply
To apply for tuition assistance, families should complete a tuition assistance application and submit it to the needs-assessment provider, FACTS Management. Applications may be obtained at the FACTS Management website, www.online.factsmgt.com. One application is sufficient for all siblings attending Catholic schools, K-12. Awards are not renewable, so families must re-apply each and every year.

Application Deadline
The deadline for completing and submitting an application for tuition assistance in anticipation of the upcoming school year is February 18.

Notification of Tuition Assistance Award
Schools will inform parents of any diocesan awards posted to their child’s tuition account.

Tuition awarded for the 2023-2024 School Year
$2,732,391 total assistance grants were awarded to 1,980 Catholic school students in the Diocese of Providence for Academic Year 2023-2024!

Education is integral to the mission of the Church here on earth—the mission to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations. For this reason, first and foremost, every Catholic school in the Diocese of Providence is a place to encounter the living God who reveals his transforming love and truth in Jesus Christ." - see Spe Salvi, Pope Benedict XVI's 2007 Encyclical, "Saved in Hope"
