Tuition Assistance Program

Since 1997, the Catholic Community Foundation has provided $6.5 million in tuition grants to 8,850 students attending Catholic elementary and high schools in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. This funding has enabled hundreds of families to choose a values-centered education for their children.

Families are most grateful for this support; here are just a few examples of their gratitude:

"Thank you very much for the grant which helps us meet the tuition obligation for our three children attending St. Dominic School. We value the quality education and excellent teachers, and most of all we treasure the formation in faith and values that our children receive. We will be forever grateful for your assistance in this very meaningful part of their lives."

"Thank you for the scholarship. I could not go here [St. John Vianney School, South St. Paul] if I didn't get it. Now I can let my light shine."

"Thank you for your generous scholarship for my daughter, Caroline. This past year has been a financial struggle for our family. Your scholarship has allowed us to continue Caroline's Catholic school education."

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the generous financial gift towards my children's Catholic education. It is so important for my children to attend Nativity, not only because they receive a very high quality education, but more importantly because they are being taught the basics of the Catholic Church: social justice, moral principles and the love of Christ. As you know, these things are so essential for children to become productive citizens and responsible adults. As a single mother, I try hard to teach them these things while doing the work of two parents. I am eternally grateful to you that my children have the benefit of going to Nativity."
