Funding fit
St. Gerard Catholic School was not in the Texas TEFA participating-school finder when we checked on October 11, 2026. Schools can apply at any time if they meet the accreditation and two-year operating requirements, so ask whether it has applied. Meanwhile, look at the school's own aid, the federal scholarship tax credit starting in January 2027, and the participating schools nearby listed below.
As a Catholic school, it is part of a system the Archdiocese of San Antonio says takes TEFA on all 35 of its campuses. If a family doesn't receive TEFA, the Archdiocese's Hope for the Future tuition assistance is the next place to look. Parish and sibling rates must keep applying for TEFA families.

Questions to ask
- Have you applied to TEFA, and when do you expect a decision?
- What is tuition for my child's grade, and which fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can come from the account?
- Which discounts do you offer, such as sibling, church member or military, and what aid is there for the balance?
- Will you accept the TEFA payment schedule (25% July, 25% October, 50% February), or do you need a deposit from personal funds?
- Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
