Catholic Education is Affordable
The Diocese of Greensburg now has $4.1 million in scholarships and tuition assistance available for the 12 Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Greensburg this year.
Am I eligible?
Students are eligible for scholarships from this state-sponsored program if their household income is not more than $100,608 (for a family with one child). That eligibility requirement rises $15,608 for each additional child.
Students who live within the boundaries of a low-achieving school, as determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and meet income requirements also are eligible to receive scholarships.
