In their own words
St. Bernard may potentially assist with up to 70% of total school expenses for those families who qualify.
We invite you to apply for tuition assistance by filling out the FACTS Financial Aid application. FACTS is a third-party organization that evaluates financial need on a case by case basis. St. Bernard Prep awards financial aid only after the successful completion of a FACTS Financial Aid application.
Scholarship Granting Organizations. In addition to offering tuition discounts, St. Bernard works with students enrolled in various Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs), such as Scholarships for Kids and C2.
New in 2025! The Alabama Choose Act. The CHOOSE Act will be particularly beneficial for parents by providing Educational Savings Accounts in the amount of $7,000 per student. There are income restrictions for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years. However, income restrictions are removed for the 2026-27 academic year, making a long term commitment to Catholic education much easier for parents. The application is easy. Learn more and apply on line.
We're here to help. To learn more about financial assistance, contact Stacey Price, Business Manager, at (256) 255-5830 or via email at [email protected].
