Apply for Financial Aid
St. James Catholic School is committed to serving students from all economic backgrounds by offering scholarships and tuition assistance. Needs-based tuition is awarded based on financial need calculated by completing the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment available here.
We make every effort to meet a family's demonstrated financial need however we are not able to make full-tuition awards. The priority deadline for applying for tuition assistance is March 1, 2024. After that, applications for aid are subject to funds availability. The FACTS Grant and Aid application must be completed each year.
If you have any questions about Financial Aid, please contact Isabel Serrano in the Business Office at IsabelSe@sjcs-savannahga.org or 912-355-3132.
