Our schools have a commitment to assisting families in making the choice to have their children attend a Catholic school. Local scholarships and grant programs that assist families may be available at the local school or parish level. Tuition rates are determined by each school. Practicing Catholic and sibling grants are also available through your local parish. Please contact the principal or the pastor for local assistance and financial aid information. In most cases, you will be required to complete a Tuition Assistance Application to determine your need.
The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Fund is supported by the generosity of the parishioners of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee through a second collection held each year on the third weekend of September. Each year the fund provides the schools and parishes of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee the opportunity to apply for a grant to assist with purchasing materials, equipment, tuition assistance and other educational initiatives. Each year, the grant applications may be submitted between the early part of December to the end of January. Grants are awarded by a review of the diocesan grant committee. The grants are announced in April of each year.
