Admission
Admission to the school is competitive, requiring a 3.5 hour placement test, a transcript from applicant's grammar school (including a letter of recommendation), and an essay. Additionally, once admitted, students have the opportunity to take proficiency tests in mathematics and/or foreign language to advance their freshman year placing. Tuition as of 2010 is $9,250 and tends to rise each year. Holy Cross awards several scholarships each year. These include two full scholarships and three partials. Financial Aid is also given to those in need in the form of grants. Holy Cross also has an installment program so that parents can pay tuition in increments over the academic year.

“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness ... It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
