Awards
Awards are made for one academic year and are based on each family's demonstrated financial need. Once a determination of need is made, school administration will make final awards. The amount of financial assistance is dependent on both the parish budget for the upcoming school year and funds provided by the diocese.
While need is based strictly on financial criteria, the principal and pastor may also take into consideration parishioner status, time, talent and financial contributions to St. Louis Catholic Church and School, special family circumstances, and the length of time that students have attended the school. Regular Mass attendance and participation in the sacraments is valued by the pastor and school administration. Awards will be communicated prior to June 15. Awards do not transfer between diocesan schools.
Questions regarding the application may be directed to FACTS Grant & Aid, 1-866-441-4637.
