The parish has limited funds available for aid with tuition. Eligibility is reassessed each school year.
Eligibility guidelines:
- Parents and student must be registered active members of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Weekly Mass attendance and the use of weekly envelopes are required.
- Student must be in grades K-8 (Preschool is not eligible)
- Occasionally, we do have other scholarship sources that do not fall under the FACTS Grant and Aid, and LEARNS (EFA). To apply for those, please still go through the FACTS Grant and Aid portal and complete the application.
Instructions/Procedure:
If you are a first-time Grant and Aid applicant, create a new user account (separate from your family portal account) and follow the steps to create a FACTS profile and complete the application.
If you submitted a Grant and Aid application for a previous term, log in with the same username and password previously used and continue through the steps to complete a current year's application.
