The Affordability Process:
If your family needs tuition assistance, begin with Step 1: Financial Aid.

Scholarships and work study are optional opportunities available to families who have first applied for financial aid and may need additional support.

Step 1: Apply for Financial Aid (Required First Step)

Families seeking tuition assistance must complete the FACTS financial aid application.

Priority Deadline: February 19, 2027
Award Notifications Sent: March 5, 2027
Notifications are sent to the email address used when completing the FACTS application.

Tolton partners with FACTS Tuition Aid to confidentially evaluate applications using national standards and local cost-of-living factors.

After the Priority Deadline:
Applications are still accepted; however, awards are based on remaining available funds and decisions may take longer to process.

For assistance, contact FACTS at 1-866-315-9262 or call Tolton at 573-445-7700.

Step 2: Scholarships (Optional)

Students who have applied for financial aid through FACTS may apply for donor-funded scholarships if additional assistance is needed.

Important Dates:

• Application Opens: March 5, 2027
• Application Deadline: March 17, 2027 at 11:59 PM
• Awards Announced: April 13, 2027

The online application will automatically close at 11:59 PM on March 17. Late applications cannot be accepted.

Scholarship amounts vary each year based on available donor funding.

Applications are reviewed according to the criteria established for each scholarship and may consider financial need, academic effort, work ethic, involvement, and essay responses. Unless otherwise noted, scholarships are not automatically renewed. Students may reapply each year.

Students applying for more than one scholarship must submit a separate application and essay for each award.

Step 3: Summer Work Study Program (Optional)

Our Summer Work Study Program provides students with the opportunity to contribute to our school community while earning a grant toward tuition for the upcoming academic year.

Students work a structured schedule Monday–Thursday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM (with a morning break) during a four-week session: June 1–June 25, 2026. Students are supervised by Tolton Catholic staff, and will assist with a variety of projects that support our campus.

Students earn a tuition grant based on hours worked and demonstrated financial need. Working the full schedule (four weeks) earns up to $1,000, while partial participation (such as two weeks) earns a prorated amount. All funds are applied directly to tuition for the 2026–2027 school year—there are no direct payments to families.

Participation is limited and prioritized based on financial need, FACTS financial aid information, and application review.

This program is not only a way to reduce tuition—it is also an opportunity for students to grow in Spirit, Heart, Mind, and Body, developing responsibility, teamwork, and pride in their school community.

Student Expectations
To support a focused and productive work environment, the Summer Work Study Program is cell phone free during working hours. Students will have access to their phones for emergencies or urgent matters. Parents may contact students during the day by calling the school office, as they would during the regular school year.

Is This a Good Fit for Your Student?
Students who are successful in this program typically:

• Are dependable and able to commit to the full schedule
• Take initiative and complete tasks without constant supervision
• Are willing to take on a variety of responsibilities
• Demonstrate a positive attitude and strong work ethic

Important Dates:

• Application Opens: April 13, 2027
• Application Deadline: April 19, 2027
• Work Study Placements Communicated: April 24, 2027
