External Assistance
Ace Scholarships
LOUISIANA
An ACE Scholarship is worth a maximum of $4,200 per year for grades K-8 and $4,500 for grades 9-12. Scholarship cannot exceed the full amount of tuition and fees at the school. The families are responsible for working out a payment plan with the school for the remainder of the tuition.
The application for new and returning students will open on the first Monday in February and close on Tax Day in April. An application form will need to be filled out, parents will need to upload proof of income and proof of residency documents, and submit review applications.
Arete Scholarships
LOUISIANA
Scholarship eligibility is based on the income guidelines for the federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program (FRL). Award amounts range from $4,000 to more than $4,900 per year.
Scholarship amounts are reset each year and cannot exceed the lesser of either the school’s tuition or mandatory fees.
The application period opens in March and remain open until the beginning of May for the following school year. Arete scholarships are on a first-applied, first-awarded basis as funds are available, with priority given to current Arete scholarship recipients. An application is not complete until all required documents are submitted.
Arete will notify any new applicants about their application status by mid-June.
* Keep in mind that submitting a qualifying application does not guarantee a scholarship. Scholarships are first come, first served, as long as funding is available. If stacking more than one scholarship, combined awards cannot exceed the cost of the student’s tuition and fees.
Catholic High has an open admissions policy, yet applicants must be deemed academically qualified and have a positive behavior record to be offered admission. Catholic High School reserves the right to deny any potential student even if they have received funding through external scholarships.
Internal Assistance
Pride of the Panther Scholarships
The Catholic High Admissions Committee developed the Pride of the Panther Scholarship to award two students (one boy and one girl) that are expected to join the Panther family from another school and live by the CHS motto, Acta Non Verba, or “Actions Not Words.” The student's admissions packet, shadow day teacher evaluation, and admissions interview will all be taken into consideration when picking the recipients.
Interested applicants must first complete the Catholic High admissions process. This means that an applicant must have applied and been accepted as a student at CHS. Applicants must also be in good academic standing and have a clean discipline record. Financial need is a consideration, but not a requirement.
SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS
- ½ off base tuition
- Administered to one boy and one girl
- Applications open on April 15th
- Submission due by May 15th

Work Study Program
Families of students in grades 4-12 may qualify for tuition assistance through the Work Study Program. An application must be completed and submitted to FACTS between January 1 and March 31 annually, to apply for grants for the following year. Notification of acceptance to the program will be made by June of each year. Assistance through this program will be based on need, will be awarded on a one-year basis, and will not be automatically renewable. THE WORK-STUDY PROGRAM IS NOT A SCHOLARSHIP.
The Catholic High School Advisory Council appoints a committee to serve in making recommendations to administration for the work-study program. This committee will report the selection of participants to the principal, who will then inform parents of the students selected. The decisions of the committee will be final.
