Financial Aid

FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will be conducting the financial need analysis for the Office of Catholic Education in the Philadelphia Archdiocese. Families applying for tuition assistance will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Applicants can apply online by clicking the FACTS application online 

Once an online application has been completed, the following information must be sent to FACTS to complete the application process:

• Copies of your most recent Federal tax forms including all supporting tax schedules.
• Copies of supporting documentation for Social Security Income, Welfare, Child Support, Food Stamps, Workers’ Compensation, and TANF.

 All supporting documentation can be uploaded in pdf format online.
 
If you have questions or concerns about the application process, you may speak with a FACTS Customer Care Representative at 866-441-4637.

Visit the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools website for more information on FACTS and Tuition Assistance

Applications through FACTS are due annually by a SPRING deadline set by FACTS, typically May 1st. Assistance awards for the following school year are typically not determined until Mid to late June of the current school year. Once our Office receives final confirmation of eligibility from FACTS, the tuition manager will contact award recipients directly. For inquiries regarding financial assistance please contact the Parish Business Manager

How does it work?
Participating Scrip retailers contribute a rebate percentage of the gift card sales back to Sacred Heart School, which SHS shares with you.  You will earn 75% of the rebate, while SHS earns 25%.  For example, Macy’s offers a 10% rebate.  If you purchase a $100 gift card, $7.50 goes into your scrip account and $2.50 goes to SHS.  By using gift cards instead of cash, check, or credit card to pay for everyday purchases, you can earn significant credit towards tuition. The rebate can be applied to school tuition, PREP Tuition, Archdiocesan high school tuition, or donated to the school.

Scrip funds accumulated January - June will be applied to tuition the following August and Scrip funds accumulated July - December will be applied to tuition the following January.
