Our Partnership with FACTS
At Tampa Catholic, we are constantly looking for ways to concentrate our available human and financial resources on our primary mission of quality Catholic education. To help us meet this goal we co-source through FACTS Management Company to handle tuition payments for all families. All students must have a Tuition Contract via FACTS, please visit this LINK to sign up.
School-Provided Financial Assistance
As a school of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, we strive to keep a quality Catholic education affordable to all who wish to attend Tampa Catholic. Each year the school is able to provide a limited amount of need-based tuition assistance to our families. We can do this thanks to the generosity of benefactors of the school who donate to our tuition assistance fund. Consideration for this assistance is available by completing the financial application with FACTS Grant Aid Assessment (FGAA) at www.factstuitionaid.com.
Please NOTE, assistance is on year to year basis. Each year that a family is seeking assistance, they must REAPPLY with FACTS here.
