Holy Cross Prep Academy celebrates 69 years of forming resilient leaders and lifelong learners - ensuring Catholic, college-preparatory education is within reach for families in South Jersey, Philadelphia, and beyond.
​
The Challenge.
Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of the exceptional academic, spiritual, and extracurricular programs we provide - and we believe finances should not prevent a student from becoming a Lancer. Philanthropy, scholarships, and strategic financial policy allow us to welcome talented students from many backgrounds and keep Holy Cross Prep affordable for families.​
​
The Goal = Affordable Catholic Education.
We set tuition to balance accessibility with the real cost of providing a rigorous, values-based education. Over the past year we have launched a new tuition assistance program called the Lancer Legacy Scholarship Program. Every applicant is considered for both academic, merit-based, and need-based awards to ensure a premier Catholic education is affordable and accessible to all who seek one. Gifts to our annual fund:​
​
-
Make scholarships possible for students with financial need.
-
Fund classroom technology, co-curricular programs, and campus ministry.
-
Support teacher professional development that translates into better learning for students.
-
Strengthen long-term stability through endowment funds.
​
The Annual Fund.
The Fund for The Cross is our annual fund. It closes the operational gap for the current year - supporting classroom resources, student life, faculty development, and financial aid. Gifts to the Fund for the Cross are the fastest way to have immediate impact.
