Diocese of Youngstown Tuition Assistance Program.

      All families seeking tuition assistance from the Youngstown Diocesan Catholic School Scholarship Fund must submit an official application form (available in English and Spanish) along with a processing fee payable to the private scholarship/financial aid processing service designated by the school.

      As a point of information, it costs approximately $3,963.00 to educate a child here at St. Patrick School.  Quick arithmetic shows how tuition payments do not equal that cost.  We depend on the generosity of all our parishioners.  We all need to use our church envelopes on a regular basis and participate in school fundraisers.

      When seeking assistance, parents need to complete a financial review form.  These forms are available in the school office.  After that information has been assessed by an outside source the Tuition Board will determine the amount of financial assistance that can be extended to the family to defray tuition costs.

      To become eligible for receiving funds from this program, students must attend or be accepted by a Catholic school of the Diocese of Youngstown.

      The deadline for submitting applications to the scholarship/assistance service is determined annually.  Applications received after the stated due date will be considered for tuition assistance if funds are available.

      The funds from the Program will be paid directly to the school that the qualifying student attends.  Schools will credit the tuition accounts for those families who have been approved to receive aid for that school year.
