Tuition Assistance | BLOC's

There are several sources of tuition assistance available to Holy Rosary families. These opportunities are made possible through the generous support of various businesses and foundations. A number of these opportunities require interested families to go through an outside application process. Other opportunities become available because of direct donations to Holy Rosary from generous parishioners of affiliated parishes.

The available opportunities and related application processes are outlined below. In cases in which Holy Rosary decides who the recipients will be, Holy Rosary will only consider families that have completed the application process for all funding sources for which they would qualify. Any cases of extraordinary or unforeseen circumstances will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families afford Catholic education.  This year Holy Rosary students received over $65,000.00 in BLOCS funding during the 2019-2020 school year. BLOCS applications for the 2020-2021 school year are available December 15, 2019 and are due by April 15, 2020. Please apply by going to www.factsmgt.com.  Please note:  all eligible families do not necessarily receive funding, it is up to the school’s financial aid department.  Awards are dependent on the amount of scholarship money BLOCS has available each year. Each family MUST provide a copy of their current income tax return to Beth Hallinan, the financial aid coordinator, to be considered for any and all aid.

OTHER FUNDING SOURCES
The Kremer Foundation provides Catholic elementary schools with tuition grants for children from financially challenged families.  The Foundation’s grants are given directly to the schools. The school decides directly which students are in most financial need.  Holy Rosary received $10,000 from the Kremer Foundation for the 2019-2020 school year.
To qualify for assistance, a family’s adjusted gross income for the 2019-2020 school year could not exceed the federal food program’s maximum family income for reduced priced meals of $46,435 for a family of four and increased by $7,992 for each additional family member.

If Holy Rosary receives a grant from the Kremer Foundation for the 2020-2021 school year, Holy Rosary will notify families of the application process in the spring.  All applications will be submitted to Holy Rosary.

If you have questions on applying for financial assistance, contact the school office, 610-825-0160.
