ANNUAL TUITION ASSISTANCE APPEAL - 11/4/2009

Grand Rapids Catholic High Schools are in the midst of its annual fund drive for tuition assistance. This appeal meets the needs of hundreds of students every year and provides tuition grants to students of Catholic Central and West Catholic High Schools. Like most parochial schools, tuition does not cover the total expense of educating students. The annual appeal helps bridge the gap between tuition and the operating budget, and ensures the continued excellence of our schools’ celebrated curriculum, faculty and facilities. 

 

·   Student aid equals over one million dollars a year with requests for $1.5 million

 

·   1 out of every 4 students receives financial aid

 

·   25% of current students would be unable to attend Catholic Central or West Catholic without tuition assistance

 

All donations, large or small, are investments that pay lifetime dividends in the life of a Grand Rapids Catholic Secondary School student.  New this year, you may donate on line by clicking on the “Help Support” button under the Quick Links on the Home Page. If you would like additional information or would like to contribute to the Annual Appeal, please contact Cindy Sielawa, V.P. Marketing and Development at (616) 514-6069.
