Tuition Assistance Program

Tuition assistance awards are made for a one-year period and must be renewed each year for returning students.  A completed FACTS Grant Aid and Assessment application must be completed HERE in order to be considered for financial assistance.

Some families may also qualify for The BASIC Fund (see The BASIC Fund information below). The BASIC Fund is an online process at www.basicfund.org. It is important that financial aid applications be submitted on time due to the limited funds available. The BASIC Fund provides scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis to families in financial need. The awards are based on household size and income and cover up to $2,750 of the tuition per child each school year.  

FACE (Family Aid Catholic Education) is funded and administered by the Diocese of Oakland.  These awards are determined by FACE and then communicated to St. Edward School. Families can apply to FACE by checking the box when first applying to FACTS Grant Aid and Assessment. A deadline in March is stated. 

The BASIC Fund (Bay Area Scholarships for Inner-City Children) is a privately funded program whose mission is to broaden the educational opportunities for inner-city children by helping low-income families afford the cost of tuition at private schools in the Bay Area. The program is available to students entering Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade at a private school for the first time. The BASIC Fund scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need.
