Because you love your daughter, you want her to have the best education available.
Because we love your daughter, we do everything possible to make that happen.
More than
70 percent
of our students receive tuition assistance to help finance their education.
Financing a Private Catholic Education
We know that a St. Ursula Academy education can represent a significant financial investment for a family. But small classes, excellent facilities, and outstanding teachers are not inexpensive. Families who understand that education is the best gift they can give their child are willing to seek creative ways to afford an SUA education, and we are here to help.

EdChoice Scholarship
Students who score in the 98th to 99th percentile on the High School Placement Test receive a $3,000 scholarship. In addition, students who score in the 97th to 80th percentile on the High School Placement Test earn scholarship monies ranging from $2,500 to $500. These scholarships are renewable each year contingent upon the student retaining a 3.75 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).
Every high school student is eligible to apply for other scholarships based on service, leadership, involvement in fine arts, drama, music, or dance. Each scholarship has specific criteria that a student must meet to be considered, such as GPA, financial need, or involvement in specified activities. (See the scholarship application form for each scholarship's specific criteria.)
