Tuition Loans
Ohio Catholic introduced the tuition payment program in 2003 in response to the need for a financial institution that would support the Catholic community, Catholic values, and Catholic education. Most financial institutions do not offer tuition loans for high school and grade school education. With a loan from Ohio Catholic, the money stays within the Diocese of Cleveland, Schools benefit from having tuition monies at the beginning of the school year, and parents of students benefit from having manageable monthly payments. Ohio Catholic has both In-Network and Out-of-Network tuition loan programs.

- Financing Terms 10-12 Months
- No Prepayment Penalties
- Easy Application Process – online, in-person, by phone or through In-Network school office

The In-Network Catholic Tuition program offers tuition loans with low rates for a 10-12 month period. Each Individual school decides if they want to join Ohio Catholic’s In-Network Catholic Tuition Program. In-Network loans are approved with the partnership of the school. If your school is not part of the In-Network program, please contact the school and ask them to join Ohio Catholic’s Tuition Payment Program. Our In-Network tuition partners include the following high schools and grade schools:
| Beaumont High School | St. Sebastian School |
| Lake Catholic High School | Ss. Robert & William |
| St. Joseph Academy | St. Mary Magdalene/St. Justin Martyr School |

The Out-of-Network Tuition program is available to help pay for tuition of any educational level offered by an accredited school. This program is for parents of students attending Catholic high schools and grade schools in the Cleveland Catholic Diocese that do not participate in Ohio Catholic’s In-Network Catholic Tuition Payment Program. You may also apply for an Out-of-Network tuition loan to pay for non-Catholic denominational schools, pre-K schools, supplemental educational schools, trade schools, technical schools, or higher education institutions. This program offers tuition loans with low rates for a 12-month period.
