Many families receive tuition assistance to make Catholic school education more affordable and there are several tuition assistance programs. The first step is making an appointment with the school principal to discuss your situation and the options.
Tuition Assistance Guidelines
Catholic schools offer tuition assistance based on financial need. Some schools offer academic-based scholarships as well, so it’s important to contact the schools you are interested in attending for their guidelines. When a family with financial need has the desire of sending its child(ren) to Catholic school, and a willingness to participate in a school and parish life is present, there are several forms of financial aid available.
Some of the aid available:
FACE Grant Oakland - (Family Aid-Catholic Education)
