Tuition and Financial Aid

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are pleased to offer FACTS Payment Plans and Grant & Aid Financial Needs Assessment on the same platform. 

FINANCIAL AID: **Application Window Opens January 1st!

FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment is the platform used for all financial aid need analysis at St. Thomas Aquinas High School for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Families applying for financial aid will need to complete an online application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Applicants can apply online by using the FACTS link on our school’s website (www.stahs.net/financial).

**Even if you already receive financial aid from the Diocese of Metuchen or St. Thomas Aquinas, you MUST re-apply each year.

The following information will need to be uploaded to FACTS to complete the application process:
Copies of your 2022 or 2023 Federal tax forms including all supporting tax schedules.
Copies of your 2023 w-2.
All supporting documentation can be uploaded in pdf or jpeg format online.

All Roman Catholic families, living in the Diocese of Metuchen, are strongly encouraged to apply for Diocese of Metuchen School Financial Aid and St. Thomas Aquinas High School Financial Aid.  Your Diocese of Metuchen application will help to expedite your STA High School Financial Aid application. Families applying to the Diocese of Metuchen must submit a Parish Verification form signed by their Pastor to the Diocese in order for their application to be reviewed. A new Parish Verification form must be signed each year. Families who are not eligible for Diocesan aid and in need of assistance should apply for St. Thomas Aquinas High School Financial Aid. The financial aid deadline is March 31, 2024.
