Some of our St. Clare Catholic School families may need financial aid to help them with tuition. St. Clare Catholic School offers the following opportunities for financial assistance: “FACTS Tuition Assistance” or “Step Up for Students.”

Step Up for Students
St. Clare Catholic School has been approved to participate in the Step-Up for Students Scholarship Program, which is available from the state of Florida to families in great financial need. Families can apply online at www.stepupforstudents.org .

FACTS Tuition Assistance
St. Clare Catholic School has retained FACTS for families to apply for financial assistance. Families who have a financial need can now apply online https://factsmgt.com/parents/#financial-aid.  The company will review the application and send us a recommendation, which we will review for tuition assistance for the school year. Applications must be submitted annually.  *Please note that parents are required to apply for the Step-Up for Students Scholarship before applying for FACTS Tuition Assistance.

Voluntary PreKindergarten Education Program
The voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (voucher) program is for four and five-year-olds who reside in Florida. Participating children must be four years of age on or before September 1. Parents can receive a voucher to enroll their child in the state’s voluntary prekindergarten (VPK) education program. This voucher amount varies and usually covers a portion of the St. Clare Catholic School Tuition. For more information, please visit their online registration site.  Click HERE. You will need proof of residence and your child’s birth certificate.

WAYS TO HELP OTHERS

If God has blessed you with financial well-being, please consider a donation to St. Clare Catholic School this year to help families who are currently having a hardship. If you are able to give a donation to help some of our families, please either call the office or visit our donation page HERE.
