Tuition & Financial Aid
With the continued support of the St. Ignatius of Loyola Church community, tuition is expected to remain well below the cost per student.
FACTS Management Company, used by many local schools, helps us manage our tuition payment program. All families must set up a payment plan, regardless of how tuition is paid (including those with full EdChoice.) We will be using FACTS to collect other fees throughout the year (before/after school care, field trips, etc.)
St. Ignatius School is an approved provider for the Autism and Jon Peterson Scholarships in Ohio. The Scholarship funds are used to support the inclusion program, not to cover tuition.
St. Ignatius also accepts EdChoice. For more information, please call the school office at 513-389-3242.
The Loyola Scholarship is available for St. Ignatius parishioners up to $800 per child. Application can be found here. Deadline is July 12, 2024.

Jon Peterson Special Needs & Autism Scholarship Programs
The Jon Peterson Special Needs (JPSN) Scholarship Program provides scholarships to students who are eligible to attend kindergarten through 12th grade and have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from their district. The amount of each scholarship will be based on the primary disability condition identified on the student’s Evaluation Team Report (ETR). The scholarship amount is used to pay for the services each child needs as identified on their IEP. This scholarship can not be used to pay tuition.
The Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) gives the parents of children with autism who qualify for a scholarship the choice to send the child to a special education program other than the one operated by the school district of residence to receive their education and the services outlined in the child’s individualized education program (IEP).
Any student, age three or above, identified by their district as a child with autism and for whom the district has created an individualized education plan (IEP) qualifies for the Autism Scholarship program. The IEP must be current and the scholarship is used to pay for the identified services in the child’s IEP, not for tuition.
Questions about either scholarship, please contact Ann Shoemaker, Director of Inclusion.
The Loyola Scholarship
The Loyola Scholarship is a grant of up to $800 per child, and will be available to parishioners who apply and meet the criteria for being a St. Ignatius parishioner.
This grant can be used if any family is still carrying a tuition balance after state scholarships are applied.
Please print the application and return to the school office.
EdChoice Scholarship Program
The Educational Choice Scholarship (EdChoice) Program provides students from designated public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. There are two types of EdChoice Scholarships: Traditional and Expansion.
The Traditional EdChoice Scholarship provides State of Ohio funded scholarships to Ohio residents who would otherwise attend underperforming schools. This program is based on the student’s residence.
The EdChoice Expansion Scholarship is based on a student’s family income. This income-based program provides scholarships to students whose family income is at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Forms for this program are provided by the Ohio Department of Education and can be found here.
We can not process EdChoice credits until those renewals or new applications are finalized by the state. As soon as they are processed, your FACTS account will reflect the EdChoice credit.
If you have questions about this scholarship, please contact Patty Thomas by calling (513) 389-3242.
