An HNA Education is More Affordable Than You Think.

We believe an exceptional education should be accessible and manageable for families. In 2025-2026, 30.7% of enrolled students received some level of need-based aid and/or academic scholarships. We also provide flexible tuition payment options, including a single annual payment, semester payments, or a monthly payment plan. Tuition rates for the following school year are set each January, and payment schedules begin in May.

Monthly for 12 months, May 1 through April 1

Annually on May 1

The first tuition payment at any level of frequency (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) is due on May 1 preceding the start of the school year.

Financial Aid

An important part of the mission of Holy Names Academy is to serve students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. For the 2025-2026 school year, 30.7% of enrolled students received some level of need-based aid.

Financial aid is awarded both directly from Holy Names Academy and via the Academy from the Fulcrum Foundation of the Archdiocese of Seattle. Financial aid may include a Holy Names Academy grant, an endowed scholarship, a Fulcrum Foundation grant, or a combination of the preceding items. 155 named endowments and scholarships directly support student financial aid, which in 2024-2025 helped underwrite the education of 109 students.

The application deadline for financial aid is December 31, 2026. Financial aid applications must be completed each year. Applications received after this date will not be considered for Holy Names Academy financial aid.

Incoming 9th-grade students may anticipate confirmation of financial-aid awards in mid-February. Returning students may anticipate confirmation of financial-aid awards prior to the start of tuition payments for the next academic year.

Scholarships

Holy Names Academy seeks to recognize young women who are academically outstanding. Awards of merit scholarships to incoming 9th grade students—either one-time or renewable—are based on academic merit, as shown by the student’s grades, her scores on the HSPT Scholarship/Placement Exam, teacher evaluation, school report, and application to HNA.

No separate application for a merit scholarship is required.

SAFE Fund

SAFE Fund (Student Aid for Education Fund)

In addition to financial aid for tuition, Holy Names Academy provides funds to assist students with non-tuition needs, such as classroom supplies or school activities. The majority of these funds are generated by the faculty and staff contributions to HNA’s Annual Giving Program. The criterion for use is an established financial need that cannot be met by the student, her family, or any other support program. Students who request SAFE funds must have a financial aid application on file in the Business Office. To request funds, please email the HNA Business Office.
