Tuition assistance is available for families who demonstrate financial need. Although we make every effort to meet a family’s demonstrated financial need, we are not able to offer full tuition awards. Financial aid is given based on financial need as well as available funds, therefore the financial aid award can range from $500.00-$2000.00. St. Joseph’s Catholic School has three forms of limited need-based financial assistance. To be considered for any of these families must:
1. Be registered and accepted for the upcoming school year.
2. Be current on all tuition and fees (applies only to students already enrolled)
3. Complete an application online with FACTS Management. Click on the Grant & Aid Assistance tab and follow the instructions. The deadline to apply with FACTS Management is March 1st.
All of our tuition assistance programs are need-based. FACTS Management determines which families are eligible based on information, including the previous year’s tax return, submitted to them.
Please note parents of all students who receive tuition assistance must re-apply for tuition assistance each year.
