Financial Aid & Scholarships

It is a core belief at St. Odilia that we must make our school available to as many interested families as possible, regardless of financial situation. We are committed to working with all of our families who are in need of financial assistance within the guidelines of our school budget. We want your children at our school! All financial aid awards are based on need as determined by completing a financial aid application. After registering, you can complete an application online by logging into your TADS account and clicking on the button for “Admissions and Enrollment.” The deadline for applying for financial aid is February 28, 2025.

You must complete the re-enrollment/registration process before your financial aid application can be reviewed.
