Financial Aid FAQ

First, consider the total annual cost of a Lasallian education. The tuition for 2023-24 is $23,840, which includes the book rental fee of $400. 

Then, calculate your ability to cover this cost. Consider all sources of income, adjust priorities and spending as able, and review assets available for use. 如果你觉得你不能支付德拉萨教育的费用，我们鼓励你申请. 

Any student currently enrolled, or new applicants for admission to De La Salle can apply for financial aid. 

Financial aid grants range from approximately 10% to 90%. While we have a generous amount of funds available for grants, 我们的支出是有限的，也不能保证所有的需求都能得到满足.

虽然收入通常是决定你有资格获得多少经济援助的主要因素, each family’s application is evaluated on many criteria. For example, 两个收入相同的家庭可以根据家庭规模的不同获得不同数额的经济援助, unusual expenses, assets owned, etc.

No. We do not offer any academic or athletic scholarships at De La Salle. All financial aid is granted based on demonstrated financial need.

Financial aid covers tuition and book fees only. However, 我们学校也支持接受经济援助的学生，只要有可能，我们会通过 Brotherhood Fund. 目前在读的学生如果需要额外的(非学费)支持，请联系 Free Gary or the Business Office.

There are no discounts offered for siblings, 不过，如果有需要，德拉萨学院鼓励有多名学生的家庭申请经济援助.

If you have children at other K‐12 Catholic schools that charge tuition, 他们的教育费用是我们审查你的情况的一部分. 如果你在德拉萨申请援助，我们希望你在所有学校申请援助. In situations where one of the schools does not have a financial aid program, a note should be included with the application explaining that.

College and/or University tuition is not taken into consideration, as they provide their own Financial Aid and/or Scholarships. There is also assistance via State and Federal programs provided.

如果学生有两个家庭，父母双方都承担学生教育的经济责任, then the income of both parents is considered by the Financial Aid Committee. If separated or divorced, 每个经济上负责任的父母或监护人都需要填写一份单独的经济援助申请.

De La Salle understands that some family situations can be very difficult. In such cases, we may request a letter from a priest, school official, social worker, 或者律师确认另一个亲生父母无法找到或者拒绝参与孩子生活的任何方面. The letter writer cannot be a relative of the applicant. The letter must state the following, as applicable:

1. The whereabouts of the other biological parent is unknown.
2. 另一位亲生父母没有提供任何支持，也至少有两年没有与家人联系.
3. 为了这个家庭的最大利益，最好不要再与另一位亲生父母接触.
4. 个人认为学校应考虑的任何其他情有可原的情况.

这封信应该与你的FACTS在线申请一起作为文件上传.

入学申请与经济援助申请是分开评估的. Admission decisions are made without consideration of financial need, 除非学校的助学金已经全部发放完毕.

Yes. Awards are made for one year only and are reassessed annually. If a student receives financial aid upon admission to De La Salle, the school will continue to fund the student through graduation, as long as the need is demonstrated through the annual application. Similarly, if a family doesn’t apply for financial aid as a freshman, 假定该家庭在未来不会申请，除非他们的财务状况发生重大变化.
