Needs-Based Tuition Assistance Funds / Financial Aid

Support Columbus Catholic Schools’ Needs-Based Tuition Assistance Funds / Financial Aid. Each of our schools has its own dedicated fund to ensure that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, can benefit from a quality Catholic education. Unlike scholarships, which often cover only a portion of tuition, tuition assistance is synonymous with financial aid. Theses funds provide vital support to families facing significant financial hardships, ensuring they receive the additional help needed to cover tuition costs. This fund directly impacts those who need it most, offering a lifeline during times of struggle and ensuring no student is left behind due to financial barriers. Your contribution helps deserving students gain access to transformative learning experiences, grow in their faith, and thrive as part of our supportive community. Together, we can make Catholic education accessible to every family who seeks it. For specific instructions about directing your gift, please email Erin Schmidt at eschmidt@colcath.org. Every gift opens doors to brighter futures!

 

Starting an annually funded named scholarship or an endowed scholarship at Columbus Catholic Schools is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on students’ lives. Annually funded scholarships provide immediate support to help students afford a Catholic education through yearly contributions, while endowed scholarships create a permanent legacy, with only the earned interest awarded each year to support students for generations. To explore your vision for a scholarship and discuss options in greater detail, please reach out to Erin Schmidt, Director of Advancement, at eschmidt@colcath.org or call 402-564-7165, ext. 112.
