Tuition Assistance

Families may choose between a tuition evaluation by the diocese and parish or accept the standard diocesan tuition rate for the Knoxville region.

Those who participate in the evaluation process may qualify for assistance through the Knoxville Regional Tuition Assistance Fund, available for students in grades K–8.

Families requesting tuition evaluation should apply when submitting their school application. To ensure an objective assessment, St. Mary’s uses FACTS, a trusted third-party service.

Online applications for the 2026–2027 school year are available through FACTS Management under Grant & Aid.

Who sees the financial information that we submit?

Families submit their information to FACTS, who will send the results of their review to the Knoxville Regional Catholic School Operating Fund evaluators. They will make a family contribution recommendation to the school. From there, the pastor and school administration review the results of all recommendations with the utmost respect for the privacy of each family submitting an application. All information submitted is confidential.
