Financial Aid

Saint Patrick Academy understands how difficult it can be for parents to provide a private Catholic education for their children. We continue to work to keep tuition as low as possible and provide financial assistance for families.

To apply for Financial Aid and the Children’s Scholarship fund, please fill out a FACTS Financial Aid Application online.

Please know that we care about you, your family, and your unique situation. It is our goal to make Catholic education affordable for you.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Since Saint Patrick Academy has transitioned to a private Catholic school in the State of New Hampshire, the Diocesan Supported Rate no longer applies. We feel blessed to be able to offer generous amounts of Financial Aid to families in need. If money is an issue, please let us know by applying for Financial Aid via FACTS.

NH Children's Scholarship Fund

The New Hampshire Children’s Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to empower low-income New Hampshire families to choose the schools that best fit their child’s needs, regardless of their income or zip code.
