FACTS APPLICATION PROCESS for Parish & Diocesan Assistance
Please note that only online applications are accepted. There is not a hard copy option.
To qualify for tuition assistance through the Diocese of Cleveland or St. Gabriel Parish, FACTS applications must be submitted by March 15. Tax returns used must be prior year that just ended of school start (i.e. 2026 would be used for 2027-28).
For Junior Kindergarten, to qualify for the Lenten Fish Fry Scholarship, apply through the FACTS application.
Assistance is available to families who are active parishioners of St. Gabriel, who first complete the FACTS application form, and demonstrate a need for assistance. A critical consideration in the process of seeking tuition assistance is the involvement of the family in the Catholic Community of St. Gabriel. Only St. Gabriel registered and active parishioners will be considered for aid provided by the parish.
Jon Peterson Scholarship
St. Gabriel School is proud to offer the Jon Peterson scholarship to families who have children on an Individualized Education Plan and qualify for this funding from the Ohio Department of Education. Wrap Around Experts is our administrator for this funding. More information can be found here or please call the school. This funding is for services and tuition when applicable. Funds are able to be used on tuition based on student's IDEA category.
