St. Catherine Academy tuition for the 2024-2025 school year is $15,500.

Scholarships
The Scholarship Committee makes academic scholarships available to all incoming freshmen. Scholarships are not based on financial need — candidates are awarded academic scholarships based on their HSPT score. Scholarships do not require a separate application, are renewable each year, and are based on current academic performance.
Essay scholarships are awarded once for incoming freshman and are not renewable. Essays are due by the second Friday in January of your student’s eighth-grade year.
Award letters are mailed to selected candidates with their St. Catherine Academy acceptance letters.

Learn MoreTuition Assistance
SCA understands and appreciates the financial commitment and sacrifice families undertake in deciding to send their children to a Catholic school. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of the family, St. Catherine Academy and the Archdiocese of Detroit devote significant funds each year to assist families in bridging the gap between what a family can afford and what it costs to attend St. Catherine Academy. Every effort will be made to award some tuition support to eligible candidates. Students may be eligible for a grant each of their four years at St. Catherine Academy; however, families must apply each year. Awards are not automatically renewed.
