The FACTS Grant & Aid Application
The 2026-2027 FACTS Application is now available for those planning to enroll at Central Catholic or returning to Central Catholic for the 2026-2027 school year. Please note: Completion of the FACTS application will require you to upload your 2025 income tax documents (i.e., 1040 forms, W-2 document(s), and any corresponding tax schedules that may apply). We ask that the FACTS application be fully completed by March 15 if possible, but no later than April 30.
For the 2026-2027 Financial Aid application, we are waiving the application fee that FACTS normally charges to allow more families to apply for aid.
