What is the Catholic Promise?
A commitment

to
affordability
for
Catholic families

Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, qualifying Catholic families will see annual tuition at Catholic Central reduced from about $13,000 to $6,000, indexed annually for inflation. Families registered and in good standing at a parish in the Diocese of Grand Rapids may apply by submitting a statement of household income. If their income is less than $300,000, the Catholic Promise Fund covers every dollar of tuition beyond the $6,000 family contribution.

Expanding access

to a‍
CC
education

Catholic Central has always been a place where
faith, family, and excellence come together.

Yet over the last 25 years, tuition costs have risen far faster than family incomes, leaving many parents questioning whether Catholic Central remains within reach. The Catholic Promise addresses this challenge directly.

A living pledge

Through the generous philanthropy of Dan '84 and Sherry '84 Bowen, the Catholic Promise stands as a living pledge that cost need not deter a family from choosing Catholic Central.

“Our story begins with gratitude.”

The Bowens share their passion and intention behind the Catholic Promise.
