Tuition & Tuition Assistance

BSM is committed to making a Red Knight education an affordable experience for every family. We believe an investment in your student's learning today will pay dividends for them in the future.

Tuition Assistance

Benilde-St. Margaret’s provides tuition assistance to families with students who have demonstrated financial need. Approximately 15-20% of the student body currently receives assistance. More than $1.8 million in assistance was awarded for the 2023-2024 school year, with an average award of $9,400.

All tuition assistance applicants must complete a Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) application. TADS is used by most Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to determine a family's tuition needs. TADS applications can be filled out online or can be printed and mailed to you from TADS. Completing your TADS application online will expedite the process. The 2024-2025 priority application deadline for TADS was February 15, 2024 and applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis. 

Complete your tads application

Submitting TADS applications after the deadline may affect a student’s financial award, as we have limited funding. Funding cannot be allocated to TADS applicants unless the student has been granted admission to Benilde-St. Margaret's. TADS may be filed prior to the admission decision, but notification of potential tuition assistance qualification will not be sent until after a student is admitted.

You may contact TADS for assistance completing the application or to check your application status. TADS does not have award information.
