Tuition Assistance OpportunitiesAll families wishing to receive any source of tuition assistance for their students in grades K-8 are required to complete a confidential FACTS Grant & Aid application each year (no financial aid is available for preschool). Completing this application is the only requirement necessary and will verify how your family best qualifies for each source of tuition assistance. All tuition assistance applications for the 2025-2026 school year must be completed and submitted online, with 2024 tax return information, by May 15, 2025. Applications received after this date will be considered to the extent that funds remain available.

SCHOLARSHIP GRANTING ORGANIZATION (SGO)Applications are completed in FACTS.
A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a state-approved organization that receives private donations from individuals or corporations for the purpose of giving scholarships to individual students who meet income eligibility requirements. An SGO awarded in a previous school year is a student eligibility track for a School Choice Scholarship. If a student’s family household income meets the income eligibility guidelines for the school year enrolling, a scholarship may be granted to the student from the school’s SGO program. The chart below lists the 2024-2025 school year income eligibility guidelines for both the SGO Program and the Indiana School Choice Scholarship Program.
INDIANA SCHOOL CHOICE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Applications from families are completed in FACTS. Saint Elizabeth Ann Setom Catholic School then submits the Choice Scholarship application to the State after the FACTS application is completed in full.
Indiana's Choice Scholarship Program, commonly referred to as the voucher program, provides scholarships to eligible Indiana students to offset tuition costs at participating schools (Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is a participating school).
To be eligible to receive a School Choice Scholarship award, a student must satisfy each of the following requirements:- The student must have legal settlement in Indiana
- The student must be at least five (5) years of age and less than twenty-two (22) years of age on or before October 1 of the school year.
- The student must be a member of a household with an annual income of not more that 400% of the amount required for the individual to qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program (please see chart below.) Income eligibility is based on the family's adjusted gross income as reported on the 2024 1040 tax return. The guideline limits are adjusted each school year for inflation.
