Financial Assistance

We are passionate about Catholic education and committed to help families in need of tuition assistance. Please let us know if we can be helpful in these processes. There are five primary sources of Financial Assistance for families:
  • Parish Assistance
  • Diocesan Assistance
  • EdChoice for qualifying income or school districts
  • Scholarships, both diocesan and parish based
  • Jon Peterson for children with special needs

Parish Assistance Directions:

Parish Assistance is available to families who are active parishioners of St. Gabriel,  who first complete the FACTS application form (see below), and demonstrate a need for assistance. Junior Kindergarten students are not eligible 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. 

Diocesan Assistance Directions:

Diocesan  Assistance is available to families,  who first complete the FACTS application form (see below), and demonstrate a need for assistance.  To qualify for Diocesan Aid, all FACTS applications must be submitted by March 15 (Round One) or by June 1 (Round Two). Tax returns used must be prior year that just ended of school start (i.e. 2020 would be used for 2021-22). Here documents:
