AOD Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund

Archdiocese of Detroit Catholic schools offer a Christ-centered academically excellent education to help students unleash their full potential. With 27,000 students at 79 schools, Catholic Schools are a pillar of the communities we serve.

For the 2025-26 school year, the Department of Catholic Schools awarded $2.2 million in tuition assistance, ensuring 1,238 students could afford a quality Catholic education. The unfortunate reality is that an additional 2,979 students qualified for aid but were unable to be awarded scholarships due to limited funding.

Catholic schools exist to form children in faith and open doors to evangelization. Their impact is clear: students who attend are more likely to remain Catholic, practice their faith, and participate in the Church as adults. Yet for many families, the single greatest hurdle to embracing this gift of Catholic education is the financial burden of tuition.

Together, we can ensure that no child is denied the gift of a Catholic education because of cost. Your support helps open the doors of our schools to more families, forming the next generation of faithful Catholics and missionary disciples. Join us in breaking down the barrier of tuition so every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and live their faith with confidence. Will you open the doors of our schools, ensuring a quality Catholic education is within reach for all?
