Education Savings Accounts (ESAs)

Did you know that new ESA Iowa legislation makes a Dowling Catholic education more affordable than ever before?

The three-year rollout for the ESA program begins in the 23-24 school year and provides $7,635 for each eligible student. This year new students transferring to DCHS from a public school and current families who meet income guidelines will qualify. By the third year, all DCHS families will benefit. We encourage all families to visit the Iowa Department of Education website for the most up-to-date information.

Tuition Assistance

Thank you for choosing Dowling Catholic High School. Tuition for the 2023-2024 school year is $9,588 plus fees for parish-participating families and $13,416 plus fees for non-participating families. International student tuition for the 2023-2024 school year is $14,700 plus fees.

At Dowling Catholic our goal is to make a Catholic education accessible to all. Through our tuition assistance program, we are able to help cover a portion of the cost of tuition for qualifying families.

Last year approximately 37% of DCHS families received some form of tuition assistance totalling nearly $2.5 million in awards. This year we anticipate up to 15% more families may qualify based on expanded guidelines and additional funding from the Catholic Tuition Organization (CTO), the diocesan Ignite Campaign and other sources.

The tuition assistance application process is open through June 15. Families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
