St. Augustine Parish Tuition Assistance

Parish families are already supporting the school through their parish contributions because the school is a ministry of the parish, therefore we will give priority consideration to requests from families that meet the qualifications for “Active Parishioner”.

Active Parishioner includes:

● Registered members of a Catholic Parish

● Attends weekly Mass and Parish events

● Volunteers time, talent and treasure to the Parish/School

A Tuition Assistance application from the family is required, indicating both the amount of assistance requested and the reason(s) why assistance is needed. All requests will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis. The amount allocated will depend

upon the number and amount of requests. Final decisions about Tuition Assistance will be made upon review of the application document by the Pastor and Principal. Families will be notified of Tuition Assistance as soon as possible.
