Financial Aid Information

Our parish and school are fully committed to helping families realize a Catholic education for their children. As such, we invite all interested families to complete the financial assistance form and provide supporting income verification. New families interested in tuition assistance should also complete the registration form with the financial assistance application. Both applications are available in the school office. All forms must be completed and returned to the school office as soon as possible. Families are also welcomed to make an appointment with the principal, Mr. Guillermo, and/orMr. Garza, the business manager regarding parish school financial assistance. For more information on tuition assistance, please contact the school office at (818) 367-5886.

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.
