Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

Our foundation increases access to Catholic schools in Central Washington by providing tuition assistance grants to children and families based on family income. Tuition assistance grants help open the door to an excellent Catholic education in partnership with the family and their Catholic school.

The Central Washington Catholic Foundation’s Tuition Assistance Program is “needs based” and is distributed across two Catholic high schools and six elementary schools in the Central Washington. TAP is designed to supplement local tuition assistance at each school. The average household income of a TAP recipient is at or below one and a half times of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Applications will not be considered complete until all required documents (tax forms, letters, referrals, child support statements, etc.) have been uploaded to their account by FACTS (process requires up to two weeks following submission). Applications will continue to be accepted until funding is depleted.

Applicants and the schools will be notified of the funding determinations. School officials will verify enrollment in October and the funding will be forwarded directly to the school. Applicant families are able to use their W-2's and Tax Returns from 2023 for the application.
