DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR BOTH OPTIONS IS
FEBRUARY 3, 2023!
One aspect of the One Faith , One Hope, One Love (1F1H1L) campaign started several years ago was to address the need of tuition assistance to families who otherwise might not be able to send their children to a Catholic school. These grants are for elementary school (K-8) and typically range from $250 to $1200 per qualified student.
***Please make sure to upload all supporting documents - 2021 tax return, 2021 W2's and 2022 W2's by the deadline of February 3, 2023.***

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.
