School Tuition Assistance Policy
Within the parameters of the annual budget, the archdiocese encourages schools to give tuition assistance to students whose families demonstrate financial need. Each school must have guidelines that govern the distribution of these funds.
In determining eligibility, the school should require a formal application and parent/guardian financial statement. Schools should use the same requirements as the Catholic Education Foundation when determining eligibility for school assistance. Schools may not require parental/guardian service hours in exchange for tuition assistance. Without permission from the Assistant Superintendent, the maximum amount of assistance to be awarded should not exceed 80% of the tuition.
The Catholic Education Foundation provides tuition assistance to students who attend archdiocesan schools and who qualify according to financial guidelines established by the Catholic Education Foundation. The Catholic Education Foundation annually publishes the policies and procedures governing the program.
