ST. PATRICK SCHOOL TUITION ASSISTANCE

All tuition assistance is given on the basis of demonstrated need. Funds are made available from the many generous donors of St. Patrick Parish. Only families who complete the Tuition Assistance application and provide the necessary documents are eligible for tuition assistance. All applications are strictly confidential and are reviewed by the Tuition Assistance Board. This Board is a small group of individuals organized for the purpose of reviewing funding requests for tuition assistance. All information this Board reviews, financial or otherwise, is held in strict confidence. Awards are not renewable and families must re-apply every year.

Applications for assistance are accepted from April 1 thru May 15. It is expected that the application process be completed entirely to be considered. Award determinations will be included with tuition paperwork mailed in July each year.

Since there are usually more families requesting assistance than there are available resources, submitting a late or incomplete application will negatively affect the likelihood and/or amount of an award.

The Board will only consider families whose financial standings have been verified. Submitting an application does not mean that the application has been verified. It is very important that all required financial documents be submitted.

Applications are available in the School Office. Please contact Mrs. Atkinson to request an application.
