The goal is to incentivize and reward all Catholic schools for reaching out to and accepting the poorest of the poor students so that they can experience the incredible impact of a Catholic education, and to help all Catholic Schools continue to achieve excellence by supplying much needed financial relief to their overall operating budgets.  We are reaching these goals in the following two ways:

1. To provide tuition assistance to as many of the poorest families in our school system as possible.

• Partial tuition assistance to poor students who had historically been paying no tuition at all or some very small amount of tuition, helps the schools’ overall bottom line, while retaining poor students in the schools, hence keeping the mission, identity and socio-economic diversity of Catholic Schools alive.

• Every Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant is made to the school, not the family.  Every grant, likely to be around $500 in year 1, represents $500 of revenue for a specific child that did not previously exist, hence freeing up $500 in the school’s overall budget

2. To offer all schools, regardless of the socio-economic status of their student population,  a previously un-existing source of grant revenue for specific projects, equipment or needs other than tuition assistance.
