Catholic Schools Offer Tuition Transfer Grant

Submitted by the Diocese of Joliet

Select Catholic elementary schools in Will County of the Diocese of Joliet are offering a $1,500 tuition transfer grant to students who transfer from any public, private, home school or charter school. This grant is offered to students entering first through seventh grade of the 2015-2016 school year and is not available to students currently enrolled in a Catholic school in the Diocese of Joliet.

“The purpose of this grant is to provide parents, who may not be able to afford a Catholic education, with a choice as to where they want to send their children to school,” says Rev. John Belmonte, S.J., Ph.D., Diocesan Superintendent of Catholic Schools, “We like to say “We Teach More” in our Catholic schools, as evident by our students’ academic success, and we want to provide an opportunity for more children to attend one of our outstanding Catholic elementary schools.”

The tuition transfer grant includes $1,000 off of tuition in the first year and $500 off of tuition in the second year. Participating in this program include schools in Joliet – Cathedral of St. Raymond, St. Jude, St. Mary Nativity, and St. Paul the Apostle; schools in Lockport – St. Dennis and St. Joseph; and a school in Romeoville – St. Andrew the Apostle.
