All Saints Academy provides many opportunities to help families make Catholic education affordable and accessible. We want to be able to provide a Catholic education to any family who desires it. In order to alleviate this barrier for those who qualify, ASA offers financial aid through various scholarships, parish support, and donors. Please reach out to our offices today and visit our website to learn more about how a Catholic education can be affordable for your family.

All families are also invited to participate in one of our parishes' SCRIP programs to receive additional tuition savings. Additional information about this program will be shared this fall and can be found on our website.

We would not be able to provide this financial aid to ASA families without the support of our sponsors and individual donors. If you are interested in supporting a student or family pursuing a Catholic education at ASA, we invite you to learn more about our tuition angel program on our website. There are also many small ways you can support ASA through various rewards and recycling programs.
