All families seeking Tuition Assistance must complete a F.A.C.T.S. Financial Assistance Application that requires a fee at: https://factsmgt.com/parents/
Please note: Corporate and individual donations are finalized in the Spring and early Summer prior to September enrollment. The administration has no control over these deadlines.

If you qualify for funding AND funding is available, please be aware that monthly payments on your FACTS will begin before tuition assistance is applied. Nazareth Academy Grade School is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that is tuition-driven, meaning that the school operates mainly on tuition income. We strive to keep the tuition affordable and market appropriate.
The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (E.I.T.C.) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit programs (O.S.T.C.) are funded through the generosity of businesses and individuals contributing under the guidelines provided by PA legislation.
We are grateful for the support of all scholarship organizations, especially Nazareth Family Foundation. No child receives full 100% tuition support.
