Tuition Assistance Application Now Open & New Deadline In Place
|
Delone Catholic High School is fortunate to be able to offer tuition assistance through funding from various sources. There are individual benefactors who believe strongly in ensuring that students do not have to choose another school based on financial considerations. A growing number of these donors have established scholarship funds in honor or memory of loved ones or have provided funding to meet a growing need for tuition assistance. The majority of these funds are awarded directly by Delone Catholic High School, while several of them are managed by outside organizations.
The 2020-21 Tuition Assistance Application through FACTS is now available on the DCHS website under Affordability or by
clicking here. This application is for all families who wish to apply for tuition assistance.
There is a $35 application fee.
Applications and supporting documentation must be submitted online by March 1, 2020.
Families may apply after this deadline, however funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. For Pennsylvania families, please

to view information on the Neumann Scholarship program through the Diocese of Harrisburg. If you have students in other Catholic schools using FACTS Tuition Management, you may apply for assistance for these students, using the same application.

SportsLeader Virtue of the Week
|
One pillar of the SportsLeader program is a weekly virtue that we incorporate into our athletic practices and throughout our school community. Every week, we will share them here to encourage the students to take the virtue into their homes as well!
Our virtue this week is APPRECIATION - The strength to recognize and enjoy someone's good qualities or actions.
An APPRECIATIVE team is tough to beat! They are dedicated to recognizing each other's strengths and specific roles and actively communicate those to teammates. Everybody carries themselves differently when they APPRECIATE others and are APPRECIATED as well and that makes a big difference.
