Saint Joan of Arc and Diocese of Joliet Catholic Education Foundation (CEF)
Each school year, the Saint Joan of Arc Sister Carolyn Sieg Adopt a Student Fund, and the Diocese of Joliet Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) offer tuition assistance to families in need of additional financial support. The tuition assistance application process for both is handled via FACTS Grant and Aid. The application process begins on January 2, 2022. You can start the application process by visiting the FACTS website https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3G6S7
Please note to be considered for tuition assistance from the Diocesan CEF, a family is required to submit a completed application on or before March 1, 2021. This can make a significant difference in the amount of assistance you receive so please apply early to be considered for Diocesan CEF tuition assistance. After March 1, you can still be considered for the Sister Carolyn Sieg Adopt a Student Fund, however, we encourage you to complete and submit your application as soon as practical.
FACTS will charge a one-time $35 processing fee to all applicants. For additional information regarding the Diocesan CEF tuition assistance, you may reach Ms. Shirley Roberson at either sroberson@dioceseofjoliet.org or call her at (815)221-6127.

2022/2023 Scholarship- Tax Credit Scholarship
The state of Illinois offers tuition assistance through the Tax Credit Scholarship program. This is administered through Empower Illinois, our primary Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). The process consists of two steps. First, there is the reservation process that begins on January 12, 2022, at 6:30 pm. The reservation process allows a family to obtain a higher priority for the general pool of donations when those funds become available. Otherwise, you can begin the application process any time after 7:00 pm on January 12, 2022. You are strongly encouraged to complete your Empower application on or before February 1, 2022. For the reservation and application process, you can visit Empower Illinois at https://empowerillinois.org/apply/how-do-i-apply/. Also, on the main page of the Empower Illinois website, there is a button for parents/students to apply for assistance. When you click on the apply button you will be directed to the family/student/parent page that contains information such as “How do I apply? How does it work? And Do I qualify?” Also, there is a Q&A section for further assistance.
A secondary SGO, Big Shoulders Fund, also awards Tax Credit Scholarships. Their application opens on January 13, 2022, at 8:00 am. Information can be found on their website at https://bigshouldersfundsgo.org. It is recommended that you apply through both SGOs, but note that you may only accept a scholarship from one.
Again, we encourage you to apply for ALL the tuition assistance opportunities that are available as outlined above.
