Tuition Announcement
As Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School looks to the future, we will start implementing some minor changes to the way we list our full tuition cost. We have been very blessed to keep the parent contribution low for our families and we intend to keep that cost unchanged for years to come.
Although we have listed our tuition as $3,200 (grades K-8) and $4,750, the true, per-student cost to educate is $9,000. Each year our school has provided an additional $5,800 for elementary and $4,250 for high school of funding from various sources for each of our students and we look forward to continuing to fund that gap for our families.
For the 2025-26 school year, our tuition statements will list tuition as $9,000. However, parental obligations will remain consistent, with every student eligible for these guaranteed financial aid packages (amount dependent on grade level of student.)
In order to receive the additional guaranteed financial aid package, your family will simply need to do one of the following:
- Apply for financial aid or
- Participate in the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.
While these changes will not impact your contribution cost if you apply for financial aid or participate in the EITC program, we want all families to be aware of the upcoming change.
Here is an example chart that shows how tuition will be reported beginning 25-26 academic year.
*These are example amounts for illustrative purposes. The amount you receive for financial assistance may be higher or lower depending on your Financial Aid application.
Find the Support You Need
We work hard to ensure the cost of tuition is not an obstacle for students who want the opportunity to thrive through a Lourdes education. As a result of the generous support of donors and supporters, we can offer a tuition rate that is less than the actual cost to educate a student.
Additionally, a range of tuition assistance and financial aid resources are available to support families who qualify. Members of parishes within the Diocese of Harrisburg are eligible to receive parish support. Plus, all students who qualify can apply for supporting financial assistance through the Simple Tuition Solutions (STS) program.
The bottom line: when Lourdes is the right fit, we work hard to make it happen and remove tuition costs as a barrier. We understand each family has unique needs related to financial aid and our team is here to offer personal support throughout the application and enrollment process. Please reach out with any questions or to start a conversation. We are here to help.
