Affording OLP

Tuition & Financial Assistance

Making Her Education Possible

Tuition, payment options, and assistance in one place, so families can plan early and ask questions freely.

A Partnership With Families

Choosing OLP is a significant investment, and it is one we make alongside you.

When the Sisters of St. Joseph gathered in Le Puy in 1650, they taught the girls in front of them without first asking what their families could afford. We work the same way. We publish our numbers plainly, we welcome every family to apply for assistance, and we treat that conversation as the start of a partnership.

Tuition Assistance

At OLP, we believe every young woman called to our sisterhood should have access to the transformative education we provide. If your family would like to apply for tuition assistance, please complete a separate application.

The Academy of Our Lady of Peace understands the investment families make when choosing to enroll their daughter in an outstanding Catholic, college-preparatory institution, and is committed to supporting them financially in many different ways. In an effort to promote access for students coming from all socioeconomic backgrounds, OLP provides need-based tuition assistance to qualifying families. Tuition Assistance & Scholarship school polices are outlined in section 2.5 of the Student Parent Handbook.

Before You Begin

Apply if you need support

If assistance would help your family, submit the application rather than assuming the answer.

Start early

The application asks for tax and income documentation. Beginning ahead of the deadline below leaves room to gather it.

Complete matters

An incomplete application can delay or reduce an award. Both parents take part in the process.

Ask us

We would rather answer a question than have a family rule OLP out. Contacts appear below.


HOW TO APPLY FOR TUITION ASSISTANCE

The Academy of Our Lady of Peace(OLP) Tuition Assistance program is designed to make an OLP education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. OLP is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.


To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account.

  • The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete and is mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, if you are a US taxpayer, you will follow the steps to authorize the IRS to share a transcript of your W2(s) and personal tax return.
  • There is a $65 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
  • Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as OLP requires you to upload additional tax documentation, including: Schedule C, E, and applicable business taxes.
  • Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard to upload any additional supporting documents requested by schools. Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed.
  • School-specific application questions must be answered.
  • OLP requires both parents to be a part of the application process for tuition assistance.
  • The information you provide in the Clarity application process will provide the basis for evaluating your financial need for tuition assistance relative to the applicant pool and the amount of available funds. 
  • A properly completed application is essential in determining financial need. Incomplete applications by the deadline will delay, reduce, and/or prevent the awarding of tuition assistance.  
  • The deadline for completing the financial aid application, including relevant supplemental documents, is January 5, 2026.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at [email protected] or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish.

You may also email our Finance Department at [email protected] for additional questions.
