How to Apply for Tuition Assistance

To be considered for tuition assistance for the 2024-25 school year, applicants and returning students must complete the Seton Catholic Tuition Assistance application and comply with all document and deadline requirements. (Please note that students in our International program are not eligible for tuition assistance or scholarships).

The Tuition Assistance Application and supporting document priority submission deadline for all applicants is December 31, 2023.  Applications can still be submitted after this date, and will be processed and awarded as completed and based upon available remaining aid.  Applicants are encouraged to complete the application as soon as possible.

Please follow the steps below to apply for Seton Catholic and Fulcrum Foundation Tuition Assistance for the 2024-25 school year:

  1. Visit Financial Aid Application FACTS
     to complete the Seton Catholic Tuition Assistance Application. 
  1. Parents should sign in as a “Returning Family” or as a new family under “Create a New Account”. Note: Families whose current school uses FACTS, should login as a “Returning Family” and use the same login username and password you use now.
  1. Parents of students who live in separate households are expected to apply separately.
  1. Under the “Applicant” section, answer “Yes” to the question “Are you applying for Fulcrum Foundation Tuition Assistance?”  Seton Catholic and Fulcrum use the same application with questions from both institutions required throughout the application.
  1. Families with students in other tuition charging schools that participate in Fulcrum’s Aid program and/or the FACTS Grant and Aid program should list all of their students on one application. Each FACTS school and Fulcrum will receive the application information.
  1. Parents should have the following documents available when working on the Seton application: (a) Social Security number. (b) 2022 Tax Return (1040). (c) Most recent pay stub for both working parents (d) most current Profit / Loss statement if self employed. 

    Required fields (*) require a number/entry to allow you to proceed. If you are unsure of how to answer any question, click the question box to utilize the “Help” screen.
    7.    The preferred method of paying the non-refundable $35 FACTS application fee is by using a credit or debit card. 
 
Required Supporting Financial Documents

The Tuition Assistance application is considered complete and ready for review when the following documents are attached and visible to the FACTS application:

  • 2022 IRS Federal Form 1040,1040A,1040EZ Individual Income Tax Return including all required Schedules and Attachments.
If applicant and co-applicant file separately, we require both tax returns for the same year.

  • All 2022 W-2 or 1099 statements for both applicant and co-applicant.
  • Business owners are required to provide their most current Profit and Loss Statement for the business.

  • Parents who receive funds from Social Security, SSI, or Unemployment Compensation are required to submit a copy of the Federal/State Award Letter or payment advice.

The preferred method of attaching documents is to scan and upload them from your computer. FACTS supplies instructions on how to do this. Parents may also FAX or mail documents directly to FACTS. However, please be aware that documents sent to FACTS can take up to two weeks to be attached to the financial aid application. We are not able to see the documents or review the application until the record is updated. Documents should be scanned to FACTS by December 12, 2023.

FACTS customer support is available to assist with application questions 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week at (866-441-4637). Please have your application ID and Social Security numbers available.
