Financial Aid

St. Elizabeth Lower School and Junior High offer tuition assistance (grades K-8 only) through the Diocese of Wilmington's Vision for the Future Tuition Assistance Program. The process is through FACTS and only available from December 1 through March 4 annually. Families can apply online. Families must reapply for financial assistance each year. Tuition payments will be adjusted by St. E business office after we receive notification of the award from the Diocese.

St. Elizabeth High School uses School and Student Services (SSS) for the financial aid process. To be considered for financial aid, parents must complete a PFS (Parent Financial Statement) and submit W-2 and tax forms directly to SSS. The PFS form should be completed online. Applicants must reapply for financial aid each year. Tuition payments will be adjusted by the amount of financial aid awarded. Financial aid applies to tuition only and is not offered for iPad, books, uniforms or any fees.
