Tuition Assistance
Available for the 2010 - 2011 Academic Year
Re- registration for Grades K - 7 is fast approaching for the
2010 - 2011 academic year. This is just a reminder of two sources
of tuition assistance, the Bishop's Education Fund (BEF) and Scholastic
Opportunities Scholarship (SOS), available for families with students
in Catholic Schools. The Bishop's Education Fund is awarded on the
basis of financial need. In order to be eligible the applicants
must be practicing Catholics registered in a parish in the Diocese
of Pittsburgh, attend one of the diocesan parish or regional schools
and have demonstrated financial need. The Scholastic Opportunity
Scholarship (SOS) Tuition Assistance Program was developed when
the General Assembly of Pennsylvania established Act 4 in May of
2001. This law provided for the establishment of the Educational
Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) to be administered by the Department
of Community and Economic Development (DCED). Act 4 authorizes the
award of tax credits to businesses that make contributions to the
scholarship organizations. Therefore the Diocese of Pittsburgh has
formed the Scholastic Opportunity Scholarship program (SOS) to receive
tax credit gifts. The funds available through the SOS program will
be awarded to families based solely on economic eligibility requirements.
Students who are Pennsylvania residents enrolled in any Catholic
school in the Diocese of Pittsburgh are eligible. Applicants can
be Catholic or non- Catholic. The funds will be sent in the students
name to the school where the child is enrolled. You must complete
the 2010 - 2011 PSAS form to be considered for either of these tuition
assistance programs. This form will be available in a couple of
weeks.
