The actual annual cost of a Dominican Academy education is nearly $27,000. The difference between the actual cost and tuition is made up through continual development efforts. Families with the means to do so are encouraged to consider funding the total cost of educating a student. At the heart of this request is our commitment to keep tuition as low as possible and to ensure the character of Dominican Academy.
MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS
Dominican Academy offers a select number of full- and partial-tuition merit scholarships. We will invite first choice students with outstanding academic performance in school and on the TACHS Exam to participate in our in-house scholarship exam and interview process. All scholarship candidates and their families must meet a D.A. faculty or staff member for a personal interview. A teacher’s recommendation is required. Qualified candidates will be invited directly by the Admissions Office in January 2023.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid determinations will take into account all TACHS/HSPT scores, grades, and supporting materials. Interested families must submit a financial aid application electronically through School & Student Services (SSS) no later than December 15, 2022. Need-based financial aid is granted at the school's discretion on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Financial Aid Committee will finalize awards only after the SSS file is complete and supporting documentation is submitted. Financial aid determinations can be released as late as March 31, 2023. Please note that Financial Aid packages cannot exceed more than half the cost of tuition.
Private Scholarship Opportunities
Columbus Citizens Foundation offers scholarships to students of Italian descent. Students who qualified for the Be a Student’s Friend Scholarships administered by the Archdiocese of New York are allowed to use this scholarship at Dominican Academy.
