Assistance Grants/Summer Work It is our mission to provide a quality Catholic
education to all those who wish to attend St. Dominic. In light of that mission, we make every
effort to keep tuition as low as possible, but we know that some families still
find the cost too high. In order to help these families, St. Dominic annually
provides about $20,000 in partial tuition grants to students who: 1. Have a financial need 2. Complete the Student Aid Form form PSAS and the
SDHS Tuition Assistance Application In addition to financial grants, there are also
several summer work positions for students who meet the three requirements
listed above. Students who are selected to work with the Maintenance Department
are paid an hourly rate, which is deducted from their tuition. To apply,
students must also complete a Summer Work Application. All requests and applications for grants and summer
work positions are confidential, and the Administrator determines individual
grant amounts. If a change in financial circumstances later allows
the family to do so, grants may be' repaid. Any donations to this fund are
sincerely appreciated. Applications are
