Information for Prospective Families
The Cristo Rey model allows us to offer a rigorous private school education to students who could otherwise not afford one. Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School only serves scholars whose family income qualifies them for scholarships to the school.
All families are required to complete the Financial Aid Information form. The data collected in this form helps the Student Recruitment Office set the tuition paid per student.
Tuition is based on a sliding scale, with 10 monthly payments in amounts available from $30/month to $250/month. The family annual contribution to the scholar's tuition will vary from $300 to $2,500, depending upon the information given on the Financial Aid Information Form.
Tuition & Fees Breakdown
- Tuition Contribution (sliding scale based on income and family size): between $300 and $2,500 per year

Quick Facts
- The total cost of tuition for one student is $11,675/year.
- Expected family contributions are based on a sliding scale, which takes into account income and family size.
- The remainder of tuition costs is fulfilled through participation in the Corporate Work Study Program, scholarships through the Alabama Accountability Act, and philanthropic donations to the operating of the school.
- No family is ever turned away from Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School due to an inability to pay tuition costs.
Alabama Accountability Act and Scholarship Granting Organizations
The Alabama Accountability Act authorizes donation-funded scholarships for low income students to attend qualified independent schools such as Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School. These scholarships are granted by specially created Scholarship Granting Organizations (or SGOs) for the sole purpose of taking private donations and awarding them to low income students in schools that have qualified to receive funds directly from the SGOs.
Holy Family Cristo Rey partners with Scholarships for Kids (a Birmingham-based SGO) and C2 Opportunity Scholarships (an SGO specifically supporting Catholic Education). Our Student Recruitment team works with all incoming families to help identify eligible students and start the application process.
Scholarships for Kids does not accept applications directly from parents/guardians. After completing an application, please bring the application to the participating school to complete tuition and certification information. Each participating school has a username and password to access our application portal and will complete the submission for you.
Scholarships for Kids will notify the school directly of your application status.
All families must meet the Scholarship Income Guidelines to be eligible to receive a C2 scholarship. Consult the Scholarship Income Guidelines chart for eligibility information. Awards are distributed on a first come, first served basis and in compliance with the Alabama Accountability Act (AAA).
C2 was created to empower low-income parents to choose what is best for their child. Application Helpline: 205-506-3252
