TUITION ASSISTANCE

FINANCIAL AID -SPECIAL NEEDS:
Emergency Financial Aid: Life status changes do occur and St. Philomena School tries to respond to the call. If a current school family has experienced a life status change, the family may submit in writing an emergency scholarship request. If any funds are available, the principal will work with the pastor to assess the need and respond accordingly.

FINANCIAL AID POLICY:

    Archdiocese of Seattle Tuition Assistance Grant Process funded by the Fulcrum Foundation: To obtain a tuition assistance grant at a participating Catholic school in the archdiocese, any current or prospective family may request and complete a confidential application form in January and submit it with copies of the required documentation to the school(s) where the family member(s) will be attending. The principal of the school will forward all applications to the archdiocese by the March deadline. The school will be notified of awardees in the spring.
    St. Philomena School Financial Aid: After one year of successful enrollment, local financial assistance can be requested by any current school family. The applicant must first have applied for the annual Archdiocese of Seattle Tuition Assistance Grant funded by the Fulcrum Foundation.
    Once a family has submitted the Archdiocese of Seattle Tuition Assistance Grant by the March deadline, a school family can then request an application form for the St. Philomena School Financial Aid. This funding mechanism is generated by the generosity and hard work of the SPLASH Auction. The confidential form is processed by the school administration and awardees are based on financial need only. Each new school year, the applicant must reapply for the Archdiocesan tuition assistance grant and St. Philomena financial aid. Any special situations will be handled confidentially by the principal and pastor.
