Affording JPII | Admissions | John Paul II High School | Texas

All applicants are considered for several different merit-based scholarships and grants. The JPII Admissions Committee determines merit-based scholarship awards after a holistic review of each applicant. Awards are distributed upon acceptance.

Any employee of a school in the Diocese of Dallas is eligible to receive a grant contingent upon employment verification.

The Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA), formerly the Education Savings Account (ESA) program, is a significant step toward empowering families to tailor their children's education to their specific needs. TEFAs are publicly funded savings accounts that can be used for qualified educational expenses, including tuition at private and Catholic schools, uniforms, meals, textbooks, therapies, tutoring, transportation, and other eligible educational expenses. The program prioritizes students with disabilities and low-income families, creating a pathway to Catholic education. Our Catholic schools are rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, where students grow in faith and wisdom.

At John Paul II High School, we take our responsibility as stewards of the financial resources entrusted to us very seriously. Our goal is to ask our families for as little as is necessary to provide the level of instruction and formation our community expects.

When making any financial decision regarding expenses, capital purchases, or tuition and fees, we are guided by the following principles:

• Seek to maintain the long-term financial stability of the school
• Provide the resources necessary for education and formation to fulfill our mission of Catholic education
• Be as cost-effective and accessible as possible
• Be fair and consistent to all families

To view our entire Financial Aid Policy.

John Paul II High School is committed to providing need-based financial assistance to qualified families. Families must use the FACTS Management Program to apply for financial aid. This confidential process evaluates each family’s financial aid request annually. For any questions regarding financial aid, please contact the Admissions Office or Email.

• To begin the Financial Aid process, click here. 
• The online application and fee must be received by FACTS by February 16, 2026. 
• Requests received after the February deadline will be considered on a funds-available basis. 2024 Federal Income Tax information and 2025 W-2 documents must be submitted to FACTS for income verification. Awards will only be made with FACTS income verification. 
• Award recipients meeting the verification criteria will be notified beginning March 13, 2026.
• In some circumstances, the Financial Aid Committee may ask the family to submit additional documentation to substantiate their request. 
• Students receiving Financial Aid must maintain an overall 2.5 grade point average to retain their Financial Aid eligibility.

Please note that as you sign your JPII tuition assistance agreement, the following guidance applies to schools in the Diocese of Dallas:
The amount of financial assistance that is received from the School or DEET/CSO Tuition Assistance based on this application may be reduced or withdrawn if a family receives funding through a Texas Education Freedom Account (aka, an education savings account). Such an adjustment offers more support to families in need who do not receive a TEFA.
