Even though the Diocese as a whole is investing $13.2 million in schools each year, our commitment to affordability is not yet realized. We are working on programs that would limit tuition in areas where the median income is below the federal poverty line to no more than 7.5% of a family’s gross income – and we are committing an additional $15 million in endowment funds to help accomplish this goal over the next 5 years.
FINANCIAL AID
Catholic education is an investment in the whole child, building a pathway to future success. The Catholic Schools Office Tuition Assistance Program supports families who want their children to attend schools in the Diocese of Dallas. Funding for this assistance comes from the Dallas Diocesan Education Endowment Trust, the Bishop’s Invitational Golf Tournament, and other funds that support families with the greatest financial need.
SUPPORT CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
To be a partner in Catholic Education, you can give in one of two ways:
BISHOP’S GOLF INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT
Founded in 2011 to make Catholic education affordable to all who may desire it, funds raised from the tournament go directly towards scholarships for the coming school year. Since 2011, more than $8 million has been raised and more than 4,100 scholarships have been awarded.
THE DIOCESAN EDUCATION ENDOWMENT TRUST
The Endowment Trust provides tuition assistance for families who have the most difficulties affording a Catholic education. It is becoming one of the strongest endowments in the country and has distributed more than $15M and more than 8,500 scholarships to date.
