Tuition & Financial Aid

For the 2025-26 school year, the subsidized tuition rate is $19,325, while the actual cost of education per student is $22,825. This difference of $3,500 per student is made up through voluntary gifts above tuition.

Each year, families who can afford to pay the actual cost of education for their student(s) through the Family Partnership Program are asked to do so. Approximately 28% of our families currently choose to give a gift above the subsidized tuition rate, making the school more affordable for all our families.

Financial aid applications are processed through FACTS. Please click here to access the online application for financial aid (y en español). There will be a $37 application fee charged by FACTS.

Important: The FACTS financial aid application is separate from Jesuit's admissions application. For families with separate households, please submit an application either 1) with combined information or 2) as separate applications for each household. Please be prepared to provide information as to any legal financial responsibility for tuition, e.g., split percentages.

For the 2026-2027 school year, please have your tax documents (W-2s, tax returns, and schedules) for the tax year 2024 ready for upload to complete your application. 

Tuition assistance is based on family financial need only. Jesuit does not provide merit- or athletics-based financial assistance.

Financial aid awards will be communicated to families in early March; information about student-specific awards will be available after March 11, 2026. 

Important note: Please ensure your application and tax-related documents are completed and uploaded by the January 9, 2026 deadline. Those received/completed after the deadline will not be processed or awarded financial assistance. 

Registration
Families wishing to enroll a student at Jesuit High School formalize their financial obligation by signing a Parent Financial Commitment agreement. This agreement describes the parent/guardian responsibility to pay the current tuition rate by one of two approved methods.

Methods of Tuition Payment

• For the 2025-2026 academic year, payment in full is due on or before July 11, 2025.
• Tuition balance letters will be sent to families in June; included in the letter will be QR codes/links to our payment portal, through which payment can be made by electronic check (no processing fee) or by credit card (3% processing fee). Payments may also be made in person by cash or check at the DeSmet Office or mailed to the office.
• Monthly payment plans can be arranged through FACTS. Note that there is a fee of $350 for this option, and enrollment is elected on the Parent Financial Commitment agreement (sent with the Jesuit acceptance letter) or through arrangement with the Treasurer’s office.

Delinquent Accounts
Families with delinquent tuition accounts must arrange for payment of past due tuition with the Business Office prior to the end of the second semester. Failure to do so will result in proceedings for the student's withdrawal from Jesuit High School. Any seniors whose accounts are not current on the first day of May will have their transcripts withheld until payment is made in full.

Should Jesuit High School incur any attorney's fees, court costs or other expenses in collecting the balance due, parents or guardians agree to pay all such costs and to consider such costs as additional fees due.

Other Expenses
Fees, tuition and other expenses shall be paid when stipulated by the school. The cost of textbooks and individual class fees (estimated $400-600) are not included in the tuition. There are no refunds on class fees.

Tuition Charge and Refund Policy
When a student enrolls or withdraws from the school, the tuition and /or financial aid charge liability will be determined by applying the appropriate percentage of annual tuition.

Transportation Support

• Carpool app for our enrolled families to facilitate coordination of carpools by zip code (Jesuit's students come from 73 zip codes).

• Bus to and from Jesuit every day (limited number of seats, priority given to students who qualify for significant tuition assistance) departing from and returning to St. Andrew Nativity School in NE Portland.
