Catholic Education Foundation for Tuition Assistance
As we begin a new year, I want to encourage each of you to invite more families to join the Catholic school experience than ever before. Last year with your encouragement and with the help of the CEF we were able to achieve record-breaking enrollment. We have not stopped growing and with your help we expect our enrollment to once again grow in 2017. To any family who yearns for a Catholic education for their children but cannot afford it, The Answer is YES!
The 2017-18 FACTs management application is available online at www.ceflou.org. This is the only way to apply for aid this year. The completed application, along with the $25 fee, should be submitted on or before March 15, 2017.
We are sending an instructional flyer to every St. Paul family. Asking for tuition assistance is a very private family decision. Often families who are experiencing difficulty are reluctant to take the steps needed to request assistance but let me assure you if this is the case the answer will be “Yes” to assistance.
For the past two years, every single family who applied to the Catholic Education Foundation for tuition assistance – and demonstrated a financial need – earned an award, 100%! Last year with the help of the CEF, need-based to tuition discounts, archdiocese voucher fund and school choice St. Paul families were awarded $204,256 in assistance!
Instead of talking yourself out of a Catholic education for your children, shouldn’t you consider reaching out to the Catholic Education Foundation and provide a better path for both your children and your family?
- NOW IS THE TIME for more families to join our storied Catholic school community with 106 years of tradition.
