At Sacred Hearts School, we believe that a quality education should be available to all children. Lack of financial resources should never stand in the way. Tuition assistance awarded to students is based on need and available funds. Financial aid is not a loan and thus, doesn’t require repayment.
Tuition assistance funds are made possible through the generosity of local and national organizations and companies, as well as loving individuals who have graciously provided donations to Sacred Hearts School in order to support students and families who have been impacted by the Lahaina fires that devastated our community in August 2023.
Our Financial Aid applications are now open for the 2024-2025 school year. In order to qualify for tuition assistance, you will be required to complete a formal financial aid application administered by our supporting third-party provider, Augustine Educational Foundation. Your application will be completed through your FACTS Family Portal or by clicking on the link below if you are still in the process of enrolling.
