Families are encouraged to apply first for need-based financial aid through the following State-Sponsored Programs:
Step-Up for Students (SUFS) www.stepupforstudents.org
Florida Private School Scholarship (AAA) www.aaascholarships.org
Additional financial assistance sponsored by Cardinal Gibbons is need-based and awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis through Cardinal Gibbons Tuition Assistance Program, FACTS Grant and Aid (FACTS). More information can be found here. 

All applicants must provide standardized tests taken within three (3) previous academic years. Standardized test results may be recorded on student’s transcripts, but any additional test results (ex: PSAT), should be included with documentation sent to the Admissions Department. 

Cardinal Gibbons requires all applicants to take the Admissions Entrance Exam (HSPT). Registration is automatically completed with the submission of the application. 

Standardized test scores, including HSPT scores, are only a portion of the materials considered when rendering an admission decision. Transcripts, report cards, and recommendations are all part of the admissions application. All documents are holistically reviewed to evaluate prospective students and assess if Cardinal Gibbons is the right fit.

All official report cards, transcripts and test scores need to be submitted directly from the student’s previous school. 

If an applicant has attended a non-traditional school or was homeschooled, we still require them to submit two (2) letters of recommendation to complete the application process. However, since these students may not have formal teachers, we request that both letters of recommendation be written by a recommender other than the applicant’s parents or family members. Acceptable recommenders include, but are not limited to, tutors, youth group leaders or academic counselors.
