Tuition Assistance

Fulcrum Foundation Tuition Assistance

The Fulcrum Tuition Assistance Grant program is designed for families and students currently enrolled or applying for the next school year in any Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Seattle. A family must apply each year through FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment to qualify for a grant. All awards are made based on financial need.

St. Philomena School Financial Aid

Local financial assistance can be requested by any current school family. However, families must first apply for the annual Archdiocese of Seattle Tuition Assistance Grant funded by the Fulcrum Foundation (See above). Once a family has submitted the application by the designated deadline, the family can then request an application form for the St. Philomena School Financial Aid. 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 Fulcrum Tuition Assistance Grant and St. Philomena School financial aid. Any special circumstances will be handled confidentially by the principal and pastoral leader.

The Tuition Assistance Committee will determine the process and amount of tuition assistance based on specific criteria. St. Philomena School families who belong to St. Philomena Parish receive first consideration for assistance. Families will receive notification from the principal regarding their tuition assistance award.

Consideration for assistance are prioritized as follows:

Current St. Philomena School families
Incoming registered St. Philomena Parish families
Incoming practicing Catholic families
Non-Catholic families

Families will receive notification from the principal and bookkeeper regarding their tuition assistance award.
