Tuition Assistance
It is our desire that any family who wants to send their children to St. Andrew - St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is given every opportunity and as much aid as possible. We want every family to take advantage of the excellent Catholic education that we offer. SASEAS School offers and accepts a number of scholarship opportunities and grant programs to assist our SASEAS school families. Families are encouraged to apply for any and all scholarship/grant opportunities.
EdChoice Scholarship Traditional
Kindergarten - 8th Grade – $6,166 per student
This program provides scholarship opportunities for K-12 students who reside within the district of a low performing public school. Scholarship opportunities also apply to students who reside with a legal custodial guardian. EdChoice Scholarships apply towards tuition only; school fees are still the responsibility of the family.
EdChoice Scholarship Expansion
Kindergarten - 8th Grade – $650 - $6,166 per student
This program provides scholarship opportunities for K-12 students based on the family’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in relation to the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines (FPL). Those under 450% FPL qualify for a full scholarship, with scholarships being reduced by a tiered method for those families above 450% FPL. EdChoice Scholarships apply towards tuition only; school fees are still the responsibility of the family.
