The rising cost of tuition fees is putting a lot of parents and students in a dilemma. Both the parents and students are looking for other alternatives, because just good grades alone cannot pay your fees. The Catholic High School scholarships are an annual award for high school students who simply can’t afford to pay Catholic tuition.
It is student financial aid, which helps the students to pay their education expenses such as tuition fees, other supplies, and books. The principal of the school or the administrator normally is in charge of administering it for the school.
The Catholic High School Scholarship or financial assistance is standard for all Catholic High Schools. It is tuition assistance. The financial need of the student and parent is the basis of this scholarship, and is not based on the athletic ability, musical ability or academic ability of the student.
Once the student is admitted to the Catholic high school the parents then, have to apply for the scholarship or tuition assistance to the administrator, proving they need financial help, and they cannot afford to pay the students tuition. On the basis of this financial need, the scholarship will be granted. The Catholic High School Scholarship is given to any eligible student who attends a Catholic High School.
Applying for the High School Scholarship
• You can get the application to apply for the scholarship from the principal of all Catholic High Schools.
• There will be a deadline before which you have to submit your application. This varies from school to school.
• The local processing takes some time and then the award will be decided. Each school has its own committee to review the applications and decide the scholarship depending on the student’s financial need.
• The scholarship is based on financial need and not in regard to color, race, origin, gender or creed. The parents income is the deciding factor in receiving the Catholic high school scholarship.
The student who receives financial aid from the school must maintain a good disciplinary record and maintain good grades. The student’s record will be periodically checked and if he/she fails academically or in disciplinary record, the school has the right to expire his/her scholarship.
Eligibility
Eligibility is based on financial need of students/parents household income. For Roman Catholic High School scholarships, preference will be given to former graduates of Roman Catholic High School.
There is no doubt that the Catholic High School Scholarship is a great boon for students and a relief for the parents. High school students who are interested in studying in a Catholic high school now can receive financial aid to do so if financial need is clearly displayed.

Best Recommendation for a Catholic High School Scholarship or Grant
Making an appointment and sitting down speaking directly with the person who is managing the financial aid for the Catholic high school is always recommended. There may be more programs recently added which you can qualify for, or you can inquire into other outside sources that may be available in which awards scholarships or Grants for Catholic high school students. The administrator will be up to date on the latest programs and can advise you of these other sources so you can contact them directly. There may be students presently attending the high school who are receiving these other Catholic high school grants from these brand new new sources.

Mary,
you must contact your state/province of which you live…the educational department and discuss your financial aid options. It sounds like your a studey abroad student and the country of which you live may be able to assist you on financial aid for study abroad students. Go to Study Abroad Scholarships Grants and Fulbright Scholarship and become a Fulbright Scholar to read more which may help. Also go to GSLC or the Global Student Loan Corporation which may help too.

I am the father of two Catholic high school students. One will be a senior, the other a junior. I am physically disabled; all of my income goes to nursing care. The students’ mother is also disabled, but has a part-time job. We want our students to complete their high school education. Can anyone suggest funding sources?
Brian,
have you contacted the high school to see if they have a financial need based scholarship program? If not contact them to set up a face to face meeting with the principal. He will know all the programs available for you. Also ask him if there are private financial need based donors who are associated with the school who would be willing to donate the cost of your childrens’ education to the school. They would recieve a write off for doing so. You may be surprised to find out that the principal does know someone like this maybe through his church who would be a willing donor for you since you are disabled. You should also use this approach through the church you are a member of. Set up an appointment face to face with your priest/pastor and express your needs to him on how important it is to have your children receive a Catholic education and ask him directly if there is a private donor willing to help you – or if the church can help you. Keep in mind you are asking for an education which is hard to say NO too. You may find that someone may step up and help you out. If you don’t ask you will never know the answer.
We will see if we can find out if there is other grant help on our end and we will post it if we find out something which could help you. But the above starting with the principal of the school will be the best source for you because he will know what latest financial aid help is available out NOW because he is dealing with it on a daily basis because private schools are trying to increase enrollment today more then ever because enrollments are falling off with most private schools and one of the principal’s main job is to increase and maintain enrollment at his school. He is your main source for you right now. Get his email and send him a message to get the wheels turning for you and follow up with a phone call.

since you are set to go to a particular college then you would have to deal with them. Set an appointment and see which scholarships you can apply to or financial aid such as student loan grants that will work for you. You have alternative student loans which are very good too. Also go to finding a student loan scholarship too.
