Any family in need of tuition assistance must complete an application and submit supporting documentation. HNM uses the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Catholic Education Foundation applications to make the determination of need. These forms are available in January each year for the following school year. For more information please check their website www.cefdn.org. 

The parish finance council sub-committee reviews and determines the in-house financial awards. Any family that anticipates serious difficulty making tuition payments on time should contact the Principal immediately. Families must complete a written application form available in the school office on which they must indicate the amount of assistance they feel they need and a brief explanation of the circumstances. Please be aware of application deadlines. Supporting documentation such as W2s and tax returns, along with mortgage, credit, and loan information must also be provided to support the application for assistance. 

All applications for assistance are referred in confidence to the school financial assistance committee, a subcommittee of the Holy Name of Mary Parish Finance Council. The subcommittee meets to review all the applications for the following school year. The Principal, in consultation with this subcommittee, makes the final determination as to the amount of assistance that can be offered. HNM School families are also eligible to apply for assistance through the Catholic Education Foundation of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Application forms are available online at www.cefdn.org and in the school office from mid-Januaryary through the end of March each year. Applications for 8th Graders who plan to attend Catholic High Schools in 9th Grade are available in October – November of their 8th Grade year.
