Funding at this school
San Juan Diego Catholic Regional High School (Juan Diego Academy) appeared as a participating school in the state TEFA finder on October 12, 2026, so a student with an Education Freedom Account can apply the 2026-27 award of $10,474 to tuition here. Odyssey pays the school on the state's behalf in three parts: 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and the last 50% on February 1.
Every Diocese of Brownsville school in Hidalgo and Starr counties was in the TEFA finder when we checked, and the diocese publishes a bilingual family guide to the program. Beyond TEFA, aid is set by each school, so ask about parishioner pricing, sibling rates and scholarships.
