Financial Aid
Roger Bacon High School believes the cost of a parochial education should not be a deterrent for your family. For the 2007 – 2008 school year, Roger Bacon High School awarded more than one million dollars in scholarships and financial assistance to approximately 60% of the student body.
Financial aid is given on the basis of need determined by an independent analysis of your family's ability to pay tuition. If you are unable to pay full tuition, the Business Office attempts to supply the aid necessary that will allow you to receive a Roger Bacon education.
All applicants for financial aid (PSAS forms) should be submitted directly to PSAS, which then forwards the information to the business office at Roger Bacon High School for evaluation. All applications for financial aid are held in the strictest confidence.
Please call our admissions office today at 513-641-1300 to learn more about the costs of and opportunities for a Roger Bacon education.
