The Diocese of Portland believes a Catholic education should be available, accessible, and affordable for any family seeking a high-quality educational experience  grounded in faith and values. Catholic schools across the diocese provide an exceptional education at affordable rates, recognizing that choosing Catholic education often requires meaningful sacrifice by families who prioritize faith-centered learning. Each year, more than $1 million in financial assistance is provided to students and families. 

A variety of scholarships and financial assistance options are available to help make Catholic education possible. In addition to school-specific scholarships, individual schools and parishes may offer grants, parishioner tuition rates, or other forms of support. Families are encouraged to contact their Catholic school directly for details on available financial assistance.
