Saint Viator Announces New Scholarship & Grant Opportunities
The Saint Viator High School Board of Trustees passed a resolution on October 10, to increase the number of opportunities for the high school’s Tuition Assistance program.
The current Tuition Assistance program annually provides over two million dollars of support to roughly one-third of the student body at Saint Viator. With the new addition of scholarships, Saint Viator is doubling down on a commitment to provide a Catholic, college-preparatory education for any students seeking academic excellence grounded in faith. New scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic school year include a multi-child discount and a legacy scholarship.
“We recognize the sacrifices families make to send their children to Catholic schools, and we are committed to making a Saint Viator high school education affordable,” says Chris Bremner, Director of Admissions. “Everyone deserves a chance to experience a faith-based education. We want to invest in your child’s education with you.”
- NEW! Multi-Child Discount - Honoring families with more than one child attending Saint Viator High School.
- Second Child Discount of $2,000
- Third Child Discount of $2,500
- Fourth Child Discount of $3,000
- NEW ! Legacy Discount - Honoring past Saint Viator and Sacred Heart graduates, this program offers a $500 discount to legacy students each year.
These two new scholarship opportunities will take effect for the 2024-2025 academic year and join the existing tuition resources which include:
- Academic Merit Scholarships - Merit scholarships will automatically be awarded to students who score in the 90th percentile or above nationally on the Saint Viator December 2 Entrance Exam:
