St. Thomas More Catholic School Fund
FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment conducts the financial need analysis for the St. Thomas More School Fund awards. All required information and supporting documents must be submitted and uploaded to the FACTS Grant and Aid website by March 1 st, 2023. Applications will open December 15th, 2022. A FACTS website link is located below. Families MUST re-apply EACH year.
Note for separated or divorced parents: In the case of divorced or separated parents, each retains the obligation to contribute to the education of his or her child, regardless of whether a legal agreement to do so exists. In this instance, both parents must complete a required Financial Aid application either jointly or separately. Financial aid grants will be made only after considering the financial resources of both parents. In the case of separated and/or divorced parents, no information will be given by the school to either parent regarding the other parent's financial disclosures. The assets of both parents will be considered before making any award; the assertion that one parent has disclaimed responsibility for educational expenses does not apply.
