Investing in a Transformative Jesuit Education
The value of a Loyola education is measured not only by academic rigor and college readiness, but by the development of Ignatian leaders who think critically, serve generously, and lead with courage and conscience.
 | A Jesuit Education Within Reach |
As part of our Jesuit mission, Loyola is committed to promoting and maintaining a diverse student body, composed of young women and men from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our financial aid program is a vital expression of that mission—making our college preparatory education accessible to more families than ever before. | |

Merit Scholarships: Honoring Excellence, Inspiring Potential
At Loyola Academy, we are proud to recognize and reward academic promise, leadership, and character through our merit scholarship program. These scholarships celebrate students who exemplify the values of a Jesuit education and demonstrate exceptional potential to thrive as Ignatian leaders. Merit scholarships are awarded based on specific criteria and are not tied to a family’s demonstrated financial need.
To be considered, applicants must take the Loyola Academy entrance exam, which utilizes the High School Placement Test (HSPT) and is administered at Loyola. For high-achieving students eager to make a difference in the world, a Loyola merit scholarship is both an honor and an invitation—to grow, to lead, and to set the world on fire as women and men for others.
 | Joe Morahan and Judy Winnick Arts Scholarship The Joe Morahan and Judy Winnick Arts Scholarship is awarded to incoming freshmen who are passionate about the visual or performing arts and plan to pursue four years of Fine Arts coursework at Loyola Academy. Rooted in the Jesuit belief that creativity and expression are essential to the formation of the whole person, the scholarship recognizes students who will share their artistic gifts with the Loyola community through leadership, imagination, and collaboration. Recipients receive a renewable $4,000 annual scholarship, provided they remain enrolled in a Fine Arts course each year. |
Tuition for the 2026-27 year is $22,625
| An Investment |
| At Loyola Academy, tuition is not just a cost—it is an investment in the formation of the whole person. Rooted in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition, our education goes beyond the classroom to shape young women and men of intellect, faith, compassion, and purpose. Through rigorous academics, transformative opportunities in athletics, the arts, leadership, and service, and a community grounded in cura personalis, students are prepared not only for college, but for lives of meaning, courage, and impact. |
| Tuition Policy |
As a private school, Loyola Academy relies extensively on tuition to fund its operations. Consequently, it is essential that those responsible for paying a student’s tuition do so on a timely basis in accordance with their selected tuition payment plan. If, after selecting a payment plan, a parent or guardian encounters unanticipated financial difficulty, it is the parent’s or guardian’s responsibility to notify the Business Office as soon as possible to discuss an alternative payment plan. Failure to pay tuition in accordance with a parent’s or guardian’s selected tuition plan can result in serious repercussions for the student. If a student’s parent or guardian has an outstanding balance from a previous year, the student and any siblings will not be able to enroll and attend class until the outstanding balance is paid. If a student’s parent or guardian has not made a tuition payment prior to the start of school, the student and any siblings will not be able to enroll or attend class until the outstanding balance is paid. If tuition becomes delinquent during the school year, the student will be allowed to attended classes and sit for exams up until the end of the semester in which the delinquency occurs. However, the student will not earn credit for his or her coursework until the delinquent tuition owed to Loyola Academy is paid by the student’s parent or guardian. Also, while the student’s tuition remains delinquent, the student will not be able to participate in interscholastic athletics or other cocurriculars such as theater, dance or student council. Finally, if delinquent tuition is not paid by the end of the semester, the student will be required to withdraw from Loyola Academy. In cases where the student is required to withdraw, the student’s official transcript will remain incomplete and will not be released until the outstanding tuition balance is satisfied. Additionally, while seniors with delinquent tuition balances will be allowed to participate in graduation exercises, they will not receive a diploma until their delinquent tuition balance or any outstanding fees are paid. Also, a senior's final and official transcript will remain incomplete and will not be released until his or her delinquent tuition balance and any outstanding fees are paid. In addition, this policy applies to unreturned library books, athletic equipment or any other property of Loyola Academy. If you have any questions regarding our tuition policy, please feel free to contact Director of Tuition and Financial Aid Ms. Julia Biasco at 847.920.2427. |
