FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION

Financial Aid applications are now available on the FACTS website for the 2020-2021 school year. https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3WH0N All families who are active parishioners are eligible to apply for the financial aid as financial aid is funded solely by the contributions of St. Joseph parishioners. Requirements for a completed application include the applicant's 2019 tax return and W-2s. The application fee is $35 and is charged by FACTS as they will process the applications and provide the financial aid recommendation to our Finance Council Financial Aid Committee for a final decision. St. Joseph does not receive any of this fee. The deadline for application is April 20, 2020. If anyone has a question, you may contact the Parish Business Manager, Mrs. Andrea Pappas, at the parish office, 859-341-6609 ext 4011 or by email at:
