Additional Assistance

Sibling Scholarship

Families who have multiple children enrolled at one time will receive a $200 tuition credit per child for each eligible year.
Legacy Scholarship

The Legacy Scholarship is a $500 scholarship for children or grandchildren of Bishop Brady or St. John High School graduates.
Parish Subsidy

Families belonging to a Diocesan Parish may request consideration for a parish subsidy. A form will be provided to you with your acceptance letter. This should be given to your pastor to complete and return to Bishop Brady before the beginning of the school year.
Referral Credit (for current families)
Word-of-mouth and family/friend referrals are some of the strongest enrollment methods we have. Current families discussing the benefits of a Brady education can have a tremendous impact on the decision-making process for prospective families.

Current families are invited to refer potential new students and their families to consider Bishop Brady. Any referred student who enrolls at the school will generate a $250 tuition credit for the referring current student.

Rules and Exclusions:
- The current family must complete a Referral Form for each student.
- If multiple families refer the same student, the $250 credit will be applied to the current family who completed the referral form first. The Office of Admissions will notify you upon receipt of a repeat referral.
- Incoming students from St. John Regional School and Holy Trinity School are not eligible to be referred (due to our Diocesan auto-accept program).
- A student who has already applied or committed to Bishop Brady prior to receiving a referral is not eligible. The Office of Admissions will notify you upon receipt of a referral for a student who applied/committed.
- Younger siblings of current families in the Brady community are not eligible to be referred

CMC Heart & Hands Scholarship - May 1 Deadline

The CMC Heart & Hands Scholarship is presented to one student entering grades 9-12 who has made a significant contribution or impact in their community.

Catholic Medical Center (CMC) has a long-standing commitment to caring for our community, serving more than 180,000 patients each year under our one mission: to carry out Christ’s healing ministry by offering health, healing, and hope to every individual who seeks our care.

Similarly, Catholic schools promote service as an essential component of their curriculum. Many Catholic schools engage students of all ages in service programs. Catholic school students learn that community is at the heart of who we are. There are no strangers, only brothers, and sisters in the Lord. Therefore, students have a responsibility to respond to the needs of others because we are all part of God's family.

Mental Health Support at Bishop Brady High School

At Bishop Brady, we believe that a student’s mental health is just as vital as their academic,

social, and spiritual development. Our mission is to foster a compassionate, faith-centered

environment where students feel safe, supported, and understood.

Our school counselors have robust backgrounds in providing short-term, school-based mental health support for students experiencing:

● Academic or social stress

● Anxiety or low mood

● Peer or friendship challenges

● Adjustment to life transitions

● Grief or emotional changes

We offer:

● Individual brief support sessions focused on problem-solving, coping strategies, and

emotional regulation

● Crisis support during the school day

● Scheduled check-ins for students needing consistent encouragement

● Referrals to local licensed mental health professionals for clinical or long-term care

● Collaboration with families and teachers to promote a whole-student approach to

well-being

Note: These services are not a substitute for therapy. We do not provide long-term

clinical counseling but can help connect families to trusted outside providers.

Confidentiality

All conversations are handled with respect and care for confidentiality. However, in any situation

involving safety concerns or harm to self or others, we follow legal and ethical guidelines to

ensure students receive the appropriate help and support.
