Nativity of Our Lord Scholarship Program

We recognize that the cost of Catholic education continues to grow and can be, for some, a source of great concern. Some families are torn between their desire to offer their children a Catholic education and the potential strain it may place on their household income. Many families make tremendous financial sacrifices to send their children to Nativity School . They make this sacrifice because they desire to work with the school in helping their children grow in God’s love and gain a deeper understanding of the teachings, traditions and rituals of our Catholic faith.

Application Process for Scholarship Consideration

The scholarship fund, which is generously supported by our entire parish community, remains in place to help those families who need assistance with their tuition obligation. All applications are processed by TADS. This service provides a confidential and professional process to assist Nativity with the distribution of financial assistance to our families in greatest need. For more information please contact our tuition manager, Mary Super, at (651)696-5441.
