Application acceptance for 2011-2012 other
tuition assistance closed on December 3, 2010.

The Archdiocese of Washington works hard to keep Catholic education as affordable as possible. Part of this effort is the Archdiocesan Tuition Assistance Program, available to students applying to or currently enrolled in Catholic schools within the archdiocese (Washington, DC and Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland).

All tuition assistance obtained through the archdiocese is based on financial need. Families must apply each year to receive assistance and need must be demonstrated each year to qualify. Applying for tuition aid has no bearing on whether a student is admitted to a school.

Each family applying for tuition assistance from the Archdiocese of Washington is required to complete an application through Private School Aid Service (PSAS).

Starting October 1, 2010 through December 3, 2010 families can apply for tuition assistance by going to www.psas.org/wash.html. There you will find instructions on how to complete the PSAS application online. The application may be completed either online or in paper.

Families applying for archdiocesan tuition assistance only need to complete one form for all children, whether elementary school students or high school students, even if seeking tuition aid for children in both schools.
