NEW: STO Deadline Approaching
|
|
The Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future School Tuition Organization (STO) and Xavier High School are pleased to once again provide tuition assistance to qualifying families. The STO program will be utilizing FACTS Management in Lincoln, NE to assist in determining the level of assistance to be awarded. FACTS Management has an application that all families need to complete to be considered for assistance. Your personal information will be held in strictest confidence at all times. If you have a child at more than one Archdiocesan School, you will only need to complete one application form. If divorced parents each pay a portion of the tuition bill, then each household needs to complete an application for a possible award towards their portion of tuition. There is a $36 non-refundable processing fee for the online application payable to FACTS. We do not have paper applications this year.
The FACTS application needs to be completed no later than April 15, 2022. The application is available online at online.factsmgt.com/aid in both English and Spanish. In addition to your completed application, you must include a copy of 2022 current wage and tax information.
The second round FACTS applications are due July 15th.
With the passing of ESA legislation, Xavier High School strongly encourages families to complete the FACTS management forms in addition to the forthcoming application for ESAs. This potentially opens up more opportunities for families to receive tuition assistance through multiple sources.
