In 1986, several civic-minded supporters of Catholic education were inspired to develop a tuition assistance program for families of the South Lafourche community who may not have the resources to attend Holy Rosary Catholic School. The brainchild of John Brady, Jr. developed into what was known as Friends of the Rosary. 

Today, the tuition program is called the Sister Claire Rodrigue Scholarship Endowment, after the woman who dedicated her life to God and our school.

Funds are distributed to the children of the applicant who qualifies for the scholarship for exclusive use for tuition assistance at HRCS. 

Tuition assistance varies according to the needs of the applicant. 

No applicant will receive the entire tuition of HRCS. 

All information regarding the Sister Claire Rodrigue Endowment is held in the strictest of confidence.

The LA GATOR Program will replace the existing Louisiana choice voucher program, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Scholarship Program.  After June 30, 2025, the Louisiana Scholarship Program will be discontinued.

LA GATOR will be administered by the Louisiana Department of Education. The amount of funds allocated to family accounts will be determined by the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). 

Implementation of LA GATOR will be phased in over the course of multiple years, with the initial phase prioritizing students who participated in the Louisiana Scholarship Program voucher program the previous school year.

Families wishing to apply for the LA GATOR Program can do so beginning March 1, 2025.

The founders’ of the ACE scholarship had a simple but powerful vision: that all children have access to great schools. 

ACE Scholarships are partial tuition, intended to provide added assistance lower-income families may need to enroll their child in a private school. Standard ACE award amounts are approximately $4,200 for K-8. Families are responsible for working out a payment plan with the school for the remainder of the tuition.

Through private contributions from corporate and philanthropic partners, Arete Scholars awards need-based K-12 scholarships and empowers parents to place their children in private schools that best suit their unique gifts and learning needs. 

2025-26 Scholarships are provided on a first-applied, first-awarded basis as funds are available, with priority given to current Arete, TDC, and Louisiana State Scholarship recipients. 

Currently, maximum scholarship amounts are $4,400 for K-8 students. Families are responsible for paying school tuition and fees that exceed the amount of the scholarship.
