Tuition & Financial Aid

HNS offers various tuition payment plans. Tuition Schedule for 2025-2026.

Financial Aid

The HNS Financial Aid program is designed to make a Holy Nativity School education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Holy Nativity School 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. The Clarity Application is also 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, there is a $60 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 Holy Nativity School requires you to upload additional tax documentation.

The deadline for completing the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is March 1.

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 support@clarityapp.com.

Please note that neither a family’s request for financial aid information nor a family’s financial status is considered as part of the admission criteria.

Preschool Open Doors (POD)

This program is a separate subsidy program with limited funds that provides services state-wide to families sending their children to a licensed preschool during the school year prior to kindergarten entry. The goal of POD is to promote school readiness for children, and the program focuses on meeting the needs of the child. Parents are not required to have an eligible activity, unlike the CCCH Subsidy program, but they must meet income and other eligibility requirements. For POD, there is a time-limited application period established and published each year.
