Thank you to all those that blessed our SJCS staff with gifts and cards at Christmastime!


We are very grateful to be working at a school with such kind and generous families!

SJCS Grants and Financial Aid Timeline

Priority applications are now open for the 24-25 School Year for current families. You have the greatest chance of receiving aid from the HALO Initiative if you apply in the Priority Round. 


Priority applications are open through today, 1/5/24. It takes 2 weeks for FACTS to process the application each time a document is submitted, so if you do not have all documents submitted by the deadline, your application may not be verified in time.   

Please click here to apply for the HALO Initiative Financial Aid.  The priority round application is now open for those families that have students currently enrolled at St. Joseph.


More information about financial aid at St. Joseph can be found on the Financial Aid Home Page on our website.
