Christ the King Parish Ann Arbor School Subsidies Policies and Procedures
Many families need and receive financial assistance for Catholic school tuition. The Diocese of Lansing believes a Catholic education should be available, accessible and affordable to any family that wants to provide their children with an authentically Catholic, academically rigorous education. To support that, Christ the King Parish provides financial aid to its parish families for Catholic schools and homeschooling.
Our scholarship program is a need-based assistance program. The need is determined by an independent, third-party service, FACTS, which makes its assessment based on family income and expense information. The FACTS application has a section that offers families the opportunity to list any changes in their financial situation, and these are also taken into consideration.
Eligibility Criteria
- School aid is available to CTK families for K-12 students in Catholic schools (including homeschooling).
- Catholic school aid is only for tuition.
- Homeschool aid requests should specify the expenses for which aid is requested. (i.e.:books, CTK co-op tuition, etc.)
- Catholic school families must first apply to both the Diocese of Lansing and their school for aid.
- The family must complete a FACTS financial aid application online on or before June 16, 2024.
