Financial aid at St. John XXIII College Preparatory is not determined by academics and is based on family income and circumstances.

In order for your request for tuition assistance to be considered, you must have:

Completed a FAST application

Work Scholarship Agreement/Tuition Assistance Program
For Families Who Have Received Financial Aid

Purpose

We are pleased to offer financial aid to help off-set the cost of tuition and partner with your family through the work scholarship/tuition assistance program. As part of this partnership, families who have received financial aid are asked to commit to being active volunteers in our school community by sharing their time and talents to help advance our mission to prepare the hearts and minds of our students to serve God and others.

Work Scholarship Commitment

Parents and students are asked to actively volunteer on campus. The number of hours required is based on the amount of financial aid assistance offered. Please refer to this chart:

Amount of Financial Aid	Service Hours Required
$6,000+	40
$2,000-$5,999	25
0-$1,999	10

Please note:

Students must complete a minimum of 50 percent of the required total volunteer hours. Parents may complete the remaining required hours.
To identify opportunities of service, parents and students may contact co-curricular faculty and sponsors, Campus Ministry, and administrative staff. Parents may also volunteer their time with the Parent Association.
Families are responsible for tracking their hours. Volunteer hours must be approved and signed off by a St. John XXIII faculty, staff, or Parent Association member. Hours are due no later than May 1 of the school year for which financial aid was awarded.
