The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) is announcing that applications for tuition assistance
for the 2010-2011 school year are available at the school offices of Mater Dei High School and at Catholic grade school offices (where 8th graders are enrolled) and at parish offices.
To download, type and print an application from Mater Dei High School website, www.materdeiwildcats.com, select “About MD” tab, then “Tuition and Fees”.
Students wishing to attend Mater Dei High School may apply. CEF tuition awards are based entirely on financial need. Complete confidentiality is assured. Deadline for applying is March 12, 2010. Most of the grant funds will be awarded to those who apply on time. Appeals and late applications will be accepted until July 1, 2010 provided funding remains available.
Beginning early in 2010, a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) will be established under the leadership of the Diocese of Evansville to allow “school choice,” or tuition assistance for students who qualify financially, and who wish to transfer from public school to private school. Parents can also apply to an SGO for tuition assistance for a child who will be entering kindergarten.
Businesses and individuals are allowed a fifty percent Indiana tax credit in addition to the usual federal deduction for contributions made to an SGO. It is recommended that qualified parents of high school students apply to an SGO first, then to CEF if additional funding is needed.
