Tuition Assistance
Saint Joseph School has been the recipient of scholarship funds from families who have lost a loved one, or who have chosen to honor someone or an event.  The funds are used to support families who are registered at Saint Joseph School, who are current on tuition payments, and who have returned a completed scholarship application, which are available in March.  No tuition scholarship is tuition in full, and awards are made at the end of the school year for which they are applied for, provided tuition payments are kept current throughout the school year.  Award decisions are made by the pastor.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
