Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, Saints Peter and Paul School receives tuition assistance for families through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). Families are able to apply for EITC funds using the FACTS aid application. This application is available online at https://online.factsmgt.com/aid. The application is required for all families seeking EITC financial aid. Funds are allocated on a rolling basis, so it is highly recommended that families apply by December 31st of each year to ensure the application process is complete before the first round of EITC distribution.
In addition to the EITC financial aid, Saints Peter and Paul Church will work with families in need of tuition assistance. Please contact Loretta Pawlowski, our School Business Manager at lpawlowski@sspeterandpaulrc.org to discuss individual payment arrangements.
All financial aid requests are completely confidential.
