Included is the March update from the most recent Cedar Rapids Metro Task Force meeting. As a reminder, this group is tasked with answering the question by providing a recommendation to the area pastors: Is it in the long term best interest of parishes and Catholic education in the metro area for Catholic schools to remain independent?

The Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future School Tuition Organization (STO) and Xavier High School are pleased to once again provide tuition assistance to qualifying families. The STO program will be utilizing FACTS Management in Lincoln, NE to assist in determining the level of assistance to be awarded. FACTS Management has an application that all families need to complete to be considered for assistance. Your personal information will be held in strictest confidence at all times. If you have a child at more than one Archdiocesan School, you will only need to complete one application form. If divorced parents each pay a portion of the tuition bill, then each household needs to complete an application for a possible award towards their portion of tuition. There is a $36 non-refundable processing fee for the online application payable to FACTS. We do not have paper applications this year.

The FACTS application needs to be completed no later than April 15, 2023. The application is available online at online.factsmgt.com/aid in both English and Spanish. In addition to your completed application, you must include a copy of 2022 current wage and tax information.

Senior parents, in order to accurately and completely recognize all deserving students who have been awarded college and university scholarships, we need to collect information about those awards. Your student may also earn awards from organizations outside of Xavier.

We are asking that you submit to us a copy of the letter or certificate documenting any college or university scholarship earned by your student. If your student has been offered scholarships by more than one institution, you should include all of them in your reporting.

This documentation should be submitted to Student Services Secretary Mrs. Anne Wallraff no later than Friday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m.
