Once you submit your FACTS application for St. Edward financial aid, simply log back into FACTS and opt into the Diocesan Tuition Assistance program by answering a few additional questions. The first round deadline to be considered for DTA is March 1. The second round and final date to file is May 1.

We are thrilled to announce that state scholarships are now available for every family. Students can only receive one scholarship from the Ohio Department of Education.
