TUITION GRANT PROGRAM

We recognize the need to keep Catholic education affordable for as many children as possible. A “Need Based” tuition grant program has been established and serves as the method for providing assistance to parish families and school staff. Tuition grants are based on need rather than academic excellence.

Non-parishioners are encouraged to seek assistance from their parish community if needed. Tuition grants are limited to students in Senior Kindergarten and higher grades. Once accepted into the school, those interested in tuition grants should request tuition grant information from the school office.

Tuition grants are limited to a portion of the total tuition. The tuition grant program does not cover registration fees. TUITION AND FEES COMMITMENTAll Tuition and fees are non-refundable. Upon payment of the REGISTRATION FEE, families are responsible for the full year's tuition and fees regardless of tuition payment option and/or subsequent withdrawal of their child from the school.
