Have you ever been concerned that a Catholic school is not affordable and therefore not an option? We are excited to share that there are lots of options to make sure that it is an option for any student who wants to attend St. Philip.
St. Philip Catholic School is a Choice School and strives to support families in need of tuition assistance. We honor both the Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) program that gives families up to a $500 scholarship per child if their income falls below the allowable limits, and the recently modified School Choice Scholarship program that gives 90% of what it would cost the same child in the public school district of residence to attend a private school. Please view the documents below for the income eligibility limits for the 2024-2025 school year, as well as the application for tuition assistance For more information, please contact Kellie Kelsey at (812) 985-2447 or kkelsey@evdio.org
