Opening the Door to a York Catholic Education

At York Catholic, we believe every family should have the opportunity to consider a high-quality private education rooted in principles of faith, belonging, academic excellence, and student readiness for college and career. Through Family Customized Tuition (FCT), we take a personalized approach to tuition, considering each family’s unique financial circumstances rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model that requires all families to make the same tuition contribution.

We encourage every YC family to apply for FCT. Many families are surprised to learn they qualify. The process is private, secure, and designed to make a York Catholic education more accessible for families across a wide range of income levels.

  • Family Customized Tuition is available to both current and prospective families.
  • Awards are personalized based on each family’s financial circumstances.
  • The process is confidential and easy to complete online.
