Saint Hilary School Tuition Assistance Options

Saint Hilary leverages all forms of aid available to our families. All families who wish to be considered for financial aid must apply to all three sources: The Saint Hilary Tuition Assistance Fund, The BASIC Fund, and Archdiocesan Family Grants. Each type of aid has its process. Please read the descriptions below carefully:

Saint Hilary Tuition Assistance

Saint Hilary School and Parish offer tuition assistance to families who need some financial assistance because of a change in circumstances. The Financial Assistance Committee looks at each family's needs on a case-by-case basis and awards are based on the assistance budget for the year, as well as the number of families in need. Saint Hilary uses the TADS application in order to review each family's request. Therefore, you must complete the TADS application at http://www.mytads.com in order to be eligible.

Deadline:

You must submit your TADS application at http://www.mytads.comby March 15, 2022, in order to be considered for financial aid for the upcoming school year.

If you need a hard copy, you can request one from TADS.

The BASIC Fund

Each family must also complete the application for The BASIC Fund by March 31, 2022, if the household income meets The BASIC Fund's guidelines. The BASIC Fund is a privately funded program whose mission is to broaden the educational opportunities for students by helping low-income families afford the cost of tuition at private schools in the Bay Area.

The program is available to students entering Kindergarten through Eighth Grade to attend private schools in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties. The program provides scholarships to help families send their children to the private school of their choice. The BASIC Fund scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need.
