Do you offer financial aid?
Yes, the school offers financial aid, but we have a limited amount of funds that we give away each year on a first come, first serve basis. The only way we can afford to give families tuition assistance is if we ask donors and sponsors for grants that would cover costs for families in financial need. This changes every year so awards are granted every year depending on the availability of funding from generous donors.
All interactions and discussions about contracts between families and the principal re: tuition and fees are to remain confidential, since financial situations are very personal and can change year to year.
If anyone is receiving any kind of assistance and discusses it with other families, they may lose their scholarship assistance or financial aid completely, since everyone’s personal finances are no one else’s business but their own. Out of respect for privacy, we ask that no one discusses financial situations with other families and keeps their own situations confidential. This is common courtesy.
Families that apply must show proof of income and tax returns from the past 1-2 years. All families are encouraged to apply for CEF if they think they are eligible for tuition assistance based on income. The website is www.cefdn.org. Those who are eligible and qualify for CEF have a better chance of receiving financial aid through the school but must apply separately for financial aid through St. Anthony’s, as donors require a separate form.
