Financial Aid
Financial aid at Oratory Prep is based on each family’s ability to pay. Families who would like to apply for financial assistance need to apply online each year. Financial assistance decisions are made independently of admission decisions; one is in no way affected by the other. Once accepted to Oratory Prep, financial aid candidates are then referred to the Financial Aid Committee, which determines each year whether a student has demonstrated financial need.
The financial aid applications for the 2024-2025 school year are now available. Please click here. Incomplete applications or those received after the December 4, 2023 priority deadline are welcome with the understanding that financial aid funds may be expended by that time.
**Oratory Prep does not accept financial aid applications submitted through FACTS Tuition Management.**
Oratory Prep uses Blackbaud Financial Aid Management (BFAM, formerly called Smart Aid) to process financial aid applications. If you have not created a BFAM account with Oratory or any other school that uses BFAM, you will need to create a new account. Please note at this time, your MyOPS credentials cannot be used to access Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. That facility is currently under development. The credentials that you create for BFAM will only be used for Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. Please read through the instructions before starting the application process:
