Aspiring Scholars partners with Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to offer qualifying low to moderate income families’ scholarship assistance to attend Catholic school. In the Catholic schools that partner with Aspiring Scholars, school leaders and faculties encourage the maturity of the whole person, with emphasis on academic preparation in accordance with Christ's teachings.
All Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans are eligible to participate. Schools are not required to submit a notice of intent to participate to the Louisiana Department of Education before enrolling a student with a scholarship from Aspiring Scholars. Catholic schools are expected to submit an intent to participate form and submit it to Aspiring Scholars. However, if a school accepts a student with an Aspiring Scholars scholarship, the school may then coordinate directly with Aspiring Scholars as the STO who issued the student scholarship.
