Affordability
As the longest-standing Catholic high school in Southeastern Indiana, Oldenburg Academy provides students in grades 9–12 with exceptional opportunities to grow, lead, and succeed—both in high school and in life. An investment in an Oldenburg Academy education is an investment in your child’s future, cultivating the essential skills, strong values, and sense of purpose that will guide their personal development and open doors to a lifetime of possibilities.
At Oldenburg Academy, we believe every student deserves access to a high-quality education. While we ask each family to invest in their child’s future, we are committed to making our education affordable through a combination of need-based financial aid and academic merit scholarships. Our goal is to ensure that tuition is within reach for all families who value the OA experience.

The Choice Scholarship (voucher) Program was established in 2011 to provide every Indiana student access to the school that best meets their learning needs. The Choice Scholarship provides qualified students financial aid to help pay tuition at a non-public school of their choice.
If the student’s family meets the income guidelines, the student may be eligible for a state voucher. For more information go to the Indiana Choice Scholarship website.
Estimated voucher amounts range from $6,200 to $6,700 based on the public school districts in our area.
How to qualify for a Choice Scholarship:
Step 1: Be a resident of Indiana
Step 2: Meet Family Income Requirements | Eligibility is based on the adjusted gross income of all members of the household. If a family’s adjusted gross income falls at or below the income level listed for their household size, their student would qualify for the Choice Scholarship Program.
