Tepeyac spends $12,000 to educate each girl creating a large gap between actual tuition income paid by families and financial aid required. Approximately $800,000 is needed to support the financial aid program alone, accounting for 44% of our general operating budget.
Tuition at Our Lady of Tepeyac High School is set at $6,900. Tepeyac offers one of the lowest rates of any Catholic high school in Chicago as well as one of the highest financial aid awards per student. Ninety-eight percent of our girls receive need-based financial aid in awards averaging $4,400.
Due to the sunset of the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program, Tepeyac is facing a $680,000 loss in financial aid income. Our primary streams of revenue for the need based financial aid program include foundation grants, individual donors, and an annual fundraiser.
Tepeyac families need your partnership. Support for the needs based financial aid program makes an impact by providing equity in educational resources, a strong Catholic foundation and access to college and career preparation support systems that would not be available otherwise.
