Tuition & Affordability
Discover How Every Arizona Family Can Afford Catholic Education at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School
We’re Here to Guide You Every Step of the Way!
At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School (OLPH) in Scottsdale, we believe every child deserves a strong academic foundation built on faith, values, and community — and that cost should never be a barrier to receiving a Catholic education. Thanks to Arizona’s unique scholarship programs, most OLPH families pay far less than the listed tuition rate — and many pay little or no out-of-pocket tuition at all.
With the help of Catholic Education Arizona (CEA), School Tuition Organizations (STOs), and the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA), Catholic education is now affordable for every family who desires it. Over 90% of OLPH families receive financial assistance through one or more of these programs.
3 Ways to Save on Catholic Education
At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School, we believe every family who desires a Catholic education for their child should be able to access one. Arizona families are blessed with unique opportunities to offset tuition costs through state-funded scholarships and tax credit programs. Below are three key ways to make a Catholic education more affordable for your family.

Turning Arizona Tax Credits Into Tuition Assistance
Understanding Tuition: Gross vs. Net
The tuition rates listed below represent the full (gross) cost of education at OLPH. However, most families receive scholarships that cover 25%, 50%, or even 100% of tuition through CEA, ESA, or STO funding.
These programs — recognized by the Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Schools Office — ensure that no family is turned away because of financial circumstances.
Our Admissions and Business Offices work closely with each family to explore every available scholarship, guide you through applications, and maximize the financial aid your family receives.
