Financial Aid and Scholarship Information
Private Donors Tuition Assistance (PreK through 8th grade)
Due to the generosity of private donors, diocesan scholarships, and our St. Anastasia Endowment Fund, we are able to provide families with financial assistance. In order to qualify for a need-based St. Anastasia Scholarship, families are requested to complete a separate Grant & Aid Application. To apply, log into the Family Portal, Financial section and click on the Grant & Aid application.
The average award ranges from $250 to $2,000 per child. Assistance is available on a first come, first serve basis and must be applied for each year. The amount of the award is confidentially determined by a committee of school administrators who use a sliding scale, which is based on the information provided by the family and the objective need amount that is calculated by FACTS.
