Scholarships
Aquinas Catholic Schools firmly believes that every family should have the freedom to choose the most suitable educational setting for their children and through our scholarship programs, we strive to make private education both accessible and affordable for all. We offer two scholarship applications that may be advantageous for your family, and if you have any questions, please allow us to assist you throughout the application process.
First Application
Local & Diocesan Scholarships
Applications are open from January 1st to March 31 for the following school year for The Good Shepherd Scholarship and the Guardian Angel Scholarship
The Good Shepard
The Diocese of Lincoln formed The Good Shepard Scholarship to support low-income students and families in need of financial assistance to attend diocesan Catholic schools. Guidelines for 2024-2025
Guardian Angel Scholarship
This Aquinas Guardian Angel Scholarship is funded by many generous benefactors, who make tuition affordable for all interested in a Catholic education. Applications need to be filled out through the FACTS Management System. All information is confidential. Read the Guardian Angel Tuition Scholarship Policy here.
Family Tution Cap
Families of all income levels are eligible to apply for the Family Tuition Cap Scholarship. Families pay for the first three students and the rest are not charged tuition. Families must apply in the FACTS Scholarship system and submit tax documents to be eligible for the Family Tuition Cap Scholarship.
Second Application
School Opportunity Scholarship
If your child(ren) received scholarship(s) from LB753 Opportunity Scholarships you are top priority and should definitely apply!
If you did not receive a scholarship under LB753 you may still apply if you have a student entering Kindergarten, 9th grade, or transferring from a public school.

FACTS Management
FACTS is an online tuition management program that helps faith-based schools offer the best payment plan solutions. There are different options that allow flexibility in scheduling tuition payments. Aquinas Catholic Schools require FACTS for tuition payments. Here are some FAQs about FACTS.
Alternative Max Tuition:
Multiply your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) from your last tax return by .07 (7%). That is the maximum tuition you will be expected to pay. Please apply within FACTS for Max Tuition Benefit.
Your family is KEY to the success of Aquinas Catholic Schools.
Please inform Administration if these benefits are not enough for your family. We are here to help.
