Tuition Assistance

Guardian Angel Tuition Assistance
 
This is a program started in 2014 to provide tuition assistance to families in need.  Friends of St. Mary School have donated the funds used to help families in the community who would like a Catholic education for their children but cannot afford the entire cost of the tuition.   Families must apply and demonstrate need to qualify for this assistance. Application forms are available from the school office.


Rich Ryan Scholarship

Rich Ryan is a parishioner at St. Mary Church and a longtime supporter of St. Mary School.  The Rich Ryan Scholarship was started in 2000 as an academic Scholarship given to the student in 5^th, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade with the highest GPA for the current school year.  Those students each receive a credit on their tuition for the following year.


Cathy Bothe Spirituality Award

Cathy Bothe was a parishioner and school parent at St. Mary for many years. Prior to her death in 2000, Cathy and her family created this award to recognize a 5th, 6th, and 7th grade student who demonstrates a strong sense of faith, love, leadership and concern for others.  Students write a short narrative about their faith and receive recommendations from their teachers.  The Bothe Family, Father Russell, and Mrs. Feldmann review the entries and then select the students who should receive the award. The winners each receive a credit on their tuition for the following school year.


Lancer Cards - Shop with Scrip

This program is a rebate program available to all families.  Parents purchase gift cards and gift certificates to shop at area stores.  A percentage of the purchase is returned either to the parent or can be donated back to the school. This can help to defray the cost of tuition for our parents.
