Scholarship Application

Parents of students enrolled in a school owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix are encouraged to apply to Catholic Tuition Organization for tuition assistance. Tuition assistance is awarded by Catholic Tuition Organization based primarily on financial need.

Application forms are provided and processed by Financial Aid Independent Review (FAIR) of Rosemount, Minnesota. FAIR application forms must be obtained from the eligible school where your student(s) attend. Students are required to be enrolled in grades K-12 prior to submitting an application for a scholarship.

Scholarship awards granted during the current school year are from the contributions received during the previous tax year.

I wanted to thank your entire staff and the board of directors at Catholic Tuition Organization for the generous awards for my children. We received nearly $6000 in assistance this year. We explained to our kids what a gift this is and how important it is to not take it for granted. If it were not for this help, they would never have been able to stay at St. Agnes. God bless you and this organization for allowing us the choice for Catholic education for our children. We will always be thankful.
