scholarships & grants
St. Mary's has been blessed by the generosity of so many people who have continued to support our school and its faith-based education. Your financial support enables us to continue to provide a quality, Christian education at an affordable level, by assisting with tuition expenses for many of our students and families. As we strive to advance with the current times, we still work to maintain a tuition that will be affordable.
One way to make a very REAL difference in a student's life is to give money towards Scholarships & Grants to offset the costs of St. Mary's tuition. Through St. Mary’s Scholarship & Catholic Education Grant Program, as well as three larger estates that have been established in previous years, we have been able to offer tuition assistance to many of our families, both for academic excellence (scholarships) and for those who are in need of financial assistance (grants). Last year, over $19,000 was given to students as scholarships, and over $40,000 was given in the form of grants.
We will present the awards to our students in mid-May during the academic awards program. All donors will be listed in the program. However, out of respect for privacy, the students/families receiving our Catholic Education Grants will not be listed in the program, but all our generous grant donors will be named in the program. It really is a wonderful way to honor a loved one through a gift to this program.
We do ask that this form and the money be in to the parish office May 5th.
Once again, on behalf of our school, administration, staff, and school families, thank you very much for your support of St. Mary’s Scholarship and Catholic Education Grant Program. Your financial gifts are deeply appreciated by our students and parents. Please contact Jennifer Wallwey with any questions 402-336-1602.
