Financial Aid Requirements

Families currently receiving or who wish to receive financial assistance for the following school year, must first apply to the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) grant for each child enrolling at St. Didacus school. Depending on each family’s level of financial need, the school may provide more financial assistance beyond the CEF award. In many cases, the only financial aid that will be given is the CEF award, which is typically $1,000 per student. Families who do not apply for the CEF award will not be granted financial aid through the school unless they are facing a legitimate financial hardship. These families should request an appointment with the principal or business manager. A tax return, current paycheck stub, and other information must be submitted for review.
