Financial Assistance

Blessed Sacrament School is committed to making a Blessed Sacrament Catholic Education affordable and accessible to support students of all backgrounds and faiths, regardless of their financial means. We see the Catholic Tuition Rate as a form of financial assistance, which applies to 75% of our student body, with about 12% of our student body receiving additional financial assistance. To qualify for the Catholic Tuition Rate, families must complete a Parish Subsidy Request form, and submit it to the school each school year during the enrollment window. Other forms of financial aid are available through:

Interested families must complete a FACTS Grant & Aid application to determine eligibility for tuition assistance. FACTS Grant & Aid applications are available October 1st and are due by February 1st for the upcoming school year. Please be aware of the following: 

  1. Deadline to complete for upcoming school year- February 1st
  2. Most recently filed tax returns are required and most recent W-2 or 1099 information.
  3. The online FACTS Grant & Aid applications must be completed and show a financial need to be considered for any financial assistance. Click here to create your FACTS account or to sign in.

POLICY ON SCHOOL SUBSIDIES FOR THE SAVANNAH DEANERY

At the meeting of the Priests of the Savannah Deanery, which took place at the Benedictine Priory on January 6, 2015, the following policy was proposed and accepted unanimously by the Priests:

  1. No parish which has a parish school will pay any subsidy to another Catholic school for a student whose family chooses not to attend their parish school, unless there is no room for that student in the parish school. At the discretion of the Pastor, a subsidy may be paid for a student to attend another Catholic school when there are special circumstances or needs.
  2. Each Catholic school in the Savannah Deanery should have a three-tiered tuition schedule. There should be:
  • An In-Parish Catholic Tuition
  • An Out-of-Parish Catholic Tuition
  • A Non-Catholic Tuition

The difference between the In-Parish Catholic Tuition and the Out-of-Parish Catholic Tuition will be $1000.00. This will also be the amount of subsidy paid on behalf of each student by a Parish which has no Catholic School. Students will continue to qualify for parish subsidy based upon the criteria established by each individual parish.

This Policy was proposed and drafted by a Committee of the Priests, in conjunction with the Principals of the Catholic Schools in the Savannah Deanery, which met on December 9, 2014 at Blessed Sacrament Parish. It was voted upon and approved by all the Priests of the Deanery at the January 6th meeting. This policy ensures fair tuition practices across the Savannah Deanery, including Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.
