Tuition Assistance/PSAS*

Printable Version of PSAS Form

  WHY USE PSAS?

Ø       It is ANONYMOUS.    Families can download an application from the school web site and personal financial information remains .

 

Ø       A PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS of need/ability to pay will be used.

 

Ø       An OBJECTIVE CRITERIA will be applied to assess each application.

 

Ø       It gives a UNIFORM APPLICATION of measures of aid, in fairness to all parish and school families.

 

 

 

HOW WILL IT WORK?

Ø       Families can pick up a tuition aid application at the school office or download and copy a PDF file from school web site.

 

Ø       The family will send the application, along with required documentation and a $20 fee to PSAS, before May 30.  If the family is also applying for assistance at a high school that uses PSAS, only one application and one fee will be needed for both schools.  Each school’s code must be given in the application.

 

Ø       Two – three weeks after the application is complete Fr. Reinersman will receive an assessment of the family’s level of need/ability to pay from PSAS.  That assessment will determine the amount of assistance the parish will provide. 

 

Ø       The financial information a family sends to PSAS will not be accessed unless the family gives written permission to do so. 

 

Ø       Fr. Reinersman will send a letter to inform each family of its tuition rate for the coming year.  If the family believes the aid is insufficient they can meet with Fr. Reinersman personally. Final decisions in this regard are granted to the Pastor.
