The  Catholic high schools operated by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are funded principally through tuition and fees, which account for roughly 89% of funding. The current tuition of $5,600, while low when compared to other private secondary schools locally and nationally, remains a challenge to many families.

Over $11 million in funding was provided for tuition assistance and scholarships in the 2009-2010 school year for secondary students. This funding represents 12.4% of the total tuition billed. The largest source of funding comes from school and alumni organizations, which provided $6.18 million. Third party organizations such as the Connelly Foundation, The Ellis Trust, and the Sullivan Foundation provided $2.74 million while an additional $1.02 million came from the funding through its Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), which allocated $1.43 million in funding in the 2009-10 school year.
