Tuition assistance is awarded each year to families with children in Grades K-12 through the Diocesan Tuition Assistance Program. Financial awards are made based on financial need. In order to ensure a fair and impartial analysis, applications are made through FACTS Management.

There are two application rounds in which families can apply. The deadline for the first round ends on March 1, 2024; however, parents who missed the deadline can still apply during Round 2. 

Applications that are submitted for Round 2 must be submitted by May 13, 2024.

Please be aware that applications are not complete until all supporting documents are uploaded, faxed, or received through USPS mail.

March 2nd is Read Across America Day!

This event, begun by the National Education Association, is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading and the birthday of the beloved children's author, Dr. Seuss.
