Applying for Financial Aid
Each year, the Board of Trustees designates funds to assist families whose incomes would prevent them from enrolling their children at St. Patrick's. The objective is to achieve a socio-economically diverse student population. All children admitted to St. Patrick's are accepted on the basis of their academic qualifications and regardless of financial need.

Financial assistance is available for tuition, activity fees, lunch, and extended day coverage. St. Patrick's offers a wide range of grants each year to families of various financial circumstances. Our Financial Aid Program has, for many years, assisted families with moderate to significant need.
All families requesting financial assistance must file an application with the School and Student Services (SSS) in Princeton, NJ; designate St. Patrick's as a report recipient; and provide tax and income information to St. Patrick's. Applicants to St. Patrick's may obtain SSS forms from the Admission and Financial Aid Office 202-342-2831/2807 or apply online at sss.ets.org. The deadline for filing with School and Student Services is February 14, 2008. St. Patrick's school code for receiving a report from SSS is 6856.
We offer the following recommendations to families applying for financial aid:
