The 2020-21 scholarship application period has not yet been set. Applications generally become available in late February/early March. To receive a notice when the application window opens please click here and complete the contact form.

Students apply through Aspiring Scholars for a scholarship to attend a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. If the number of students that meet the participating school’s enrollment criteria exceeds the number of available seats, the school must conduct a lottery to determine enrollment.

Students must still apply for admission directly to the school of their choice. Schools may use their own enrollment procedures. Accepted students may then use the scholarship towards a participating school’s mandatory tuition and fees.
