Financial Aid for Tuition

Don’t let the cost of a Catholic education keep you from considering it for your family. There are many ways to make your tuition at Epiphany Catholic School more affordable. Details on some of our scholarship opportunities are noted below.

Diocese of Peoria, Spalding Scholarship Application Information

Tuition assistance in the form of scholarship grants from the endowment fund established as a result of the Diocese of Peoria Rooted In Faith Campaign, and named in honor of the Archbishop Spalding, the first Bishop of Peoria, are available at the start of each calendar year for the upcoming school year. These grants are for students enrolled in, or intending to enroll in, grades K through 12 in any Catholic school located in the Diocese of Peoria, whose families are members in good standing at a Catholic parish in the diocese. All grants are based on financial need objectively assessed.

Parents can find additional information and the application link on the Diocese Website. This is the only step needed to be eligible for the Spalding scholarship assistance. Notification of the grants are made before the start of the school year.

Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program Information

The State of Illinois offers a Tax Credit Scholarship program. The program is separate from assistance received by completing the FACTS application. Families that are seeking assistance from the Diocese are highly encouraged to also complete the application for this scholarship. This is a highly competitive scholarship and registration begins every January of the upcoming school year.

Go to: Empower Illinois for more information.

Parish Financial Assistance

Our Parish subsidizes tuition for registered parishioners attending K-8 at Epiphany Catholic School.

Families that have applied for aid from the Diocese and are in need of additional tuition assistance may be eligible for support from the parish. Parish assistance is offered to qualifying families after the scholarships from the Diocese and Empower Illinois have been awarded. The applications completed for the Diocese scholarships through FACTS Grant and Aid are reviewed by the parish and school administration for families needing additional support. Please contact Angie O’Connor at business.manager@epiphanyparish.com with any additional questions.
