Tuition Assistance There are two types of programs: a) the work/job program; and b) the Fr. Joseph Egan Financial Aid Grant program. Both programs require families to complete an application and submit it to a third party with whom the school contracts to confidentially analyze family need. Grants are based solely upon demonstrated need. The maximum assistance from the Fr. Egan program is three-fifths of the tuition of a family from a participating parish. The job program earnings reduce a family’s tuition by approximately $950 per student. Families can apply for either of the programs or both.
