The School Board and Foundation Board are committed to making Catholic Education affordable for all families. The tuition charged is significantly less than the cost per student. In addition, the foundation and the school both allocate a variety of scholarship opportunities for families in addition to the subsidy between cost to educate and tuition.
It is important that families apply to the outside scholarship organizations first if they qualify in order to allow the school to assist as many families as possible.
All families with students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 are eligible to receive the Steamboat Legacy Scholarship. The $7,000 Education Savings Account can be used for tuition, uniforms, tutoring, technology, book fees, and other related educational expenses.

If your family income is less than 250% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines ($80,375 for a family of four) you should apply for an Educational Savings Account which will more than cover the cost of tuition.
