2. Immaculate Heart of Mary Tuition Assistance 

Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish provides tuition assistance to help parish day school families (K-8) attend the school.  Active parishioners may apply for assistance by completing an application.

You can apply for BOTH of these tuition assistance options by completing ONE online application found at: https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3xhs0

Simple steps to apply:

1. Choose "Create a user name and password" or if you already have an account, click "Sign In"

2. Then click on the Start Application link

3. Select the appropriate school year (2023-2024)

4. Complete the steps as prompted to apply for financial assistance

5. When asked during the application process if you are applying for an "award" answer YES. This will allow you to apply for the 1F1H1L grant.

*NOTE: All applicants must answer "YES" for award application as families must apply for this grant first before eligible for parish tuition assistance.

DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR THESE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPPORTUNITIES IS

FEBRUARY 3, 2023!

The application will be processed by a third party company which will apply designated criteria in order to rank eligibility and determine dollar amounts available for assistance. The application must be submitted each year by specified dates, and eligibility for these financial grants will be determined by April for the next academic year.  All parents registering for the next school year are expected to submit a tuition deposit during the February registration period, regardless of whether or not they are currently on financial assistance.  If a financial crisis occurs during the course of a school year, parents will have an opportunity to complete an application for financial assistance at that time.

If financial circumstances change, prayerfully consider repaying the parish for the assistance you have received.
