Grant & Aid

It is understood and appreciated the financial commitment and sacrifice families undertake in deciding to send their children to a Catholic school. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of a family, each school, parish and the Archdiocese of Baltimore devote significant funds each year to financial aid programs that help assist families. In turn, our school communities benefit by attracting students that otherwise would not be able to attend our schools.


FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will be conducting the financial need analysis for St. Ursula School for each school year.  Families applying for financial aid will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment by February 28th.  Applicants can apply online beginning November 1, at www.stursula.org.  Once an online application has been completed, the following information will need to be sent to FACTS to complete the application process:
