Five $1,000 scholarships will go to families who want to send their children to Catholic elementary schools but can’t afford tuition.

The Aim Higher Foundation and the Catholic Services Appeal Foundation partnered to provide the scholarships starting with the 2017-2018 school year. All Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, except those participating in a CSAF block grant, can participate in the CSAF Scholarship Fund. Families can apply through Minneapolis-based tuition assistance agency TADS, which will select the five students of greatest financial need.
