Scholarships and Tuition Assistance Funds
A number of scholarships and tuition assistance funds are available to Immaculata students. Much of the available tuition assistance is made possible by generous benefactors who donate so that students who might otherwise might not have been able to afford an Immaculata education can do so. Families should complete applications for tuition assistance to be considered for these funds.
