Tuition Assistance

Although tuition continues to be an excellent value as compared to the tuition in other dioceses and in private schools, we realize that it puts a serious strain on some budgets. In order to assist families in providing for a Catholic school education, the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) has been established.

Parents seeking financial aid must complete a TAP application by April 15 of the previous school year, submitting the required forms to verify income, and a $15 non-refundable fee payable to the Tuition Assistance Program. Information is available in the Business Office. The application process is not intended to intimidate, rather, it ensures that the amount of aid given to each family is objective and that as many needy students as possible receive help. Tuition assistance applications are available in the Business Office. Families currently receiving tuition assistance must reapply each Spring for the next. school year.

If a student receives scholarships or tuition assistance from other sources, the Archdiocese reserves the right to reduce the TAP awards so that these funds can be allocated to other needy students.

If you receive a scholarship or grant, it will be allocated to the student's account each month beginning in July and ending in April. You are responsible for paying the net amount due each month to keep your tuition account current. If the student withdraws during the year, the full amount of the grant or scholarship will not be credited to the student account; the amount will be prorated based on the time the student has been enrolled.
