We are thrilled to share an important update that reflects our commitment to providing a superior college preparatory educational experience. With a proud tradition of academic excellence spanning over five decades, our school has always strived to provide the highest quality education and opportunities for all our students.
In line with our mission, we are pleased to announce the launch of a new Tuition Assistance Program. We hope this program will help us continue to empower students to reach their full potential, while maintaining our high standards of academic excellence and personal conduct.
First, we have partnered with two non-profit organizations. They both offer income-based tuition assistance to families with a child currently enrolled in public school, or with children who are entering Kindergarten for the first time. (This includes our current PreK families)

Applications open the 1st Monday in February.
Applications close at the End of the Day on Tax Day in April.

Applications open February 28.
Second, FACTS will host our own Tuition Assistance this year which will be open for current or new families to apply. Applications will be available through your FACTS login. More information will be coming soon.
Finally, The Louisiana Giving All True Opportunity to Rise (LA GATOR) Scholarship Program is being rolled out by the state this year:
You may have seen the La Gator Program in the news as "your tax dollars following your student". It has been signed into law by the governor, and more information will be made available this spring. I highly encourage you to read the information below and reach out to your state representatives to let them know how this program could positively affect your family. The phases of students' eligibility depend on legislative appropriation of funds. Information on those phases can be found on the second link below.
You can view more information and see updates as the legislation is passed here:

The LDOE will begin accepting online student applications no later than March 1, 2025, for the 2025-2026 school year. Continue to visit their website for the latest updates or sign-up for our LA GATOR email list.
