Brothers Promise
BROTHERS PROMISEThe Brothers' Promise guarantees that young men will continue with their De La Salle education if a parent or guardian loses the ability to pay tuition due to unforeseen job loss during the tuition paying period (July through April). The Brothers Promise provides relief from future tuition payments in the current academic year. Proper documentation and processing apply.
Please contact Director of Operations, Joe Gerardi with questions or to make a claim.
FAQ
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.
