Tuition Assistance

We know that Catholic education changes lives. For many families though, the cost of tuition makes it unattainable. If a family desires a Catholic education for their student, we encourage you to apply for Empower Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship.

Empower Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program

Empower Illinois Scholarship Program awards tuition assistance grants to K-12 students from families with limited financial resources. Visit https://EmpowerIllinois.org to access the reservation form and begin your application.

Parish Investment

The parishes invested over $60,000 of offerings in the school for the 2020-2021 school year. The church relies on the generosity of school families, as well as all parishioners, to make this investment.

Fundraising Commitment

St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School has a FinanceCommittee that plans initiatives to grow the school’s, Celtic Fund. The Fund is used to cover the cost of multi-student tuition discounts, tuition assistance, academic and technological enhancements, budget shortfalls, and resources for the future. Each year, there is a development goal that supports this effort. Each family is asked to contribute to support that goal, as well as participate in voluntary fundraising efforts and events. Your support is appreciated!
