It is the policy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School that no child should be denied an opportunity to learn and grow in the Catholic faith at our school due to financial difficulties.

In order to be eligible for assistance, the student must already be registered at SEAS.

A limited amount of tuition assistance and scholarships is available from the parish and other donors, administered by TADS for school families experiencing economic difficulties. Families can request tuition assistance/scholarships through TADS by clicking here.

Families must submit all information to TADS by the required deadline, April 15th. The school receives a report back indicating how much assistance is recommended. An appeal process/form is available if needed by the family. A modified tuition contract is then established.

Families that are applying for the AIM Higher scholarship must complete their application for aid by February 20th. 

Non-parishioners may have limited access to tuition assistance. Families that receive assistance are expected to offer time and talent to offset the lost revenue to the school.

$1,000 Scholarships to Help Pay for Tuition

The Aim Higher Foundation provides additional scholarships to children whose families are looking for tuition assistance to send their child to a Catholic school in the great Twin Cities metro area. Children attending grades K through 8^th grade are eligible to receive $1,000 each. There is no limit to the number of children who receive a scholarship per family.

Once awarded, the Aim Higher Scholarship follows students through 8th grade and to other Catholic schools. In other words, if your child receives a scholarship in kindergarten, he or she will continue to receive $1,000 each year through 8^th grade—a possible total of $9,000 in nine years.
