Tuition and Financial Aid
2026-2027 Tuition
The true cost to educate a child at St. Brigid School is $6560 and that is our tuition rate for K-8 students for 2026-2027.. (Point of interest…average cost to educate a child in an Ohio public school is over$14,000) As stewards of the parish treasury and resources, due diligence demands that we consider the most fair and equitable means to fund the school going forward. There are several opportunities to reduce tuition or get it fully paid through grants and scholarships. Seventy-five percent of our families pay $0 tuition out of pocket. Please call us so we can discuss what the tuition might be for your family.
EdChoice
EdChoice Expansion Scholarships – BASED ON INCOME
All students will receive a scholaship depending on income.
EdChoice Expansion Scholarships are available to all St. Brigid students (K-8). The State budget that passed July 1, 2023 vastly increased the availability of EdChoice scholarships by raising the income limits and making them universal. That system continued with the new budget passed June 30, 2025. Families whose income is below 450% of the federal poverty level will receive a full scholarship. Above 450% FPL all students are eligible on a sliding scale.
All St. Brigid families will be required to apply for an EdChoice Expansion scholarship before any other financial aid is considered.
Once a family is in the program they can remain in the program even if their income increases. Renewal is automatic each year through high school with submission of application
EdChoice Scholarships – NOT BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED
The original State of Ohio scholarships offer students in grades K-12 the chance to attend a private school (St. Brigid) for little or no cost if they live in and attend a designated, under-performing school. There are currently no schools in Greene County on the underperforming list. The application opens February 1 and remains open.
Further information is available by calling St. Brigid School at 937-372-3222 or visiting the Ohio Department of Education website at http://edchoice.ohio.gov. All information about family income and tuition payments is kept strictly confidential.
Archdiocese of Cincinnati Grants
This is a program of the Archdiocese that helps families with tuition costs. For the first time in 2024-25, preschool students were eligible for awards. Families must reapply every year and non-Catholic families are also eligible. Grants will range from $200 to $400. Families that submit the FACTS application for financial aid before February 15, 2026 are automatically considered for Archdiocese of Cincinnati grants. Your application must be verified by FACTS before February 15 which means any documents required must be uploaded by February 15 also. If you own a business, additional forms will be required and they must also be uploaded by February 15. No grants will be awarded after this deadline. Additional information can be found at https://catholicbestchoice.org/tuition-aid/catholic-education-foundation/ .
Parish Grants
Some financial aid comes directly from St. Brigid Parish. The grants come in the form of a reduction of tuition. Information provided in the FACTS Grant and Aid Management Application is used to make awards.
FACTS Grant and Aid System
FACTS is accepting applications for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati grant awards for the 2026-2027 school year. Archdiocese grants are only awarded to preschool through 8th grade families who submit the FACTS application by February 15. The same application will be used by St. Brigid School for financial aid from the parish.
There is a $38.00 application fee.
New families that register after February 15 and desire to apply for financial aid will be required to fill out the FACTS application and will be considered for any financial aid available after that date.
