The Totino-Grace community recognizes the commitment and sacrifice students and families make to receive a Catholic education, and we realize the value in having an economically diverse student population. Therefore, our goal is to help our students and families meet the cost of a great education.
As part of our Lasallian Mission, Totino-Grace awards more than $1,300,000 in financial aid to help students and families seeking a TG education. For 2012-13, over 35 percent of the student body received financial aid.

Financial Aid and Tuition Aid Data Services
Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) is the company used by the Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese to help distribute Archdiocesan funds, as well as funds from the individual high schools. TADS processes every family's application and determines the relative need of each family. The Totino-Grace financial aid committee uses this information to distribute the financial aid funds available in the most equitable way possible. There is a $29 processing fee required to apply for financial aid. Financial aid award letters will begin to be mailed by Totino-Grace in April.
(NOTE: TADS does not give grants or scholarships; they process the forms and provide schools with a tool for allocating their own financial aid.)
Those interested in obtaining a grant must fill out and submit a TADS (Tuition Aid Data Services) form. You can complete this easily by one of the following options: Online TADS Application [school code: 23326] (Families are encouraged to apply online.)
