APPLICATION PROCESS - 9TH GRADE
We encourage prospective Freshmen to apply for admission to St. Vincent Pallotti High School early in the fall of their eighth grade year. Applications received by the deadline will be considered in the first round of decisions.
Missed the deadline? You may still apply under our rolling admissions process. We will continue to evaluate applications until all slots for our incoming class have been filled.
It is best to apply for financial assistance when you are applying for admission so that you will receive both decisions at the same time. For scholarship consideration, we must have a financial aid application on file for your student.
We recommend that you fulfill all of the requirements to successfully complete the application process . Applications are considered complete and ready for decision when all of the required paperwork has been received. Our Admissions Team is here to help you navigate through the process. Please direct questions to admissions@pallottihs.org or call us at 301-725-3228. Documents should be sent to admissions@pallottihs.org or faxed to 301-725-5381.
