What documents should I have ready when I begin the application?
All 2023 tax documents for new students, including transfers and W2s from 2024 for Returning Students only.
What if I have children attending more than one Catholic school in the archdiocese?
Because it is the same application used throughout the diocese, there is no need to fill out a separate application. You simply add the student(s) and school(s), and separate award determinations will be made by the individual schools.
What if the parents are divorced and in separate households?
Each parent should fill out an application with the understanding that each is responsible for 50% of the total tuition. Awards will be based on that and never shared with the other parent. If a parent is unwilling to fill out an application, that should be noted in the additional comments section of the parent who is applying.
What if I am not sure how to answer a question?
Don’t stop. Hover on the help bubble next to each field. Access the Resource Library at the top. If you still need help contact FACTS Customer Support at 866-441-4637. There is no fee for help, and no limit. If FACTS is unable to resolve the issue, call the DLS Business Office at 586-541-6226..
What if I am late with my application?
Late applications will be reviewed and awards will be made from the REMAINING tuition assistance funds.
Who at the school is responsible for the tuition assistance process?
A committee of school administrators is responsible for making award decisions.
I make too much to qualify for tuition assistance, but I still cannot afford the current tuition for my children. What do I do?
We encourage any family concerned about tuition to go through the financial aid process. We remain committed to finding a reasonable solution to tuition. Once again, we strongly urge families to contact the Admissions Office if they are concerned about affordability.
Can my son earn an athletic scholarship?
No. De La Salle does NOT award athletic or talent-based scholarships. To lower tuition costs, parents may apply for need-based tuition assistance, participate in the SCRIP program, earn an academic scholarship based on the High School Placement Test, or receive a sibling discount. No student receives an athletic scholarship.
