Good morning Cardinals! Over the weekend you should have received an email from Blackbaud Enrollment Manager so you could set up your account to begin the process of re-enrollment for the 2022-23 school year. We are so thankful for Miss Jen and Kelly Hickey's work this year to streamline our enrollment and financial assistance process for our families.

The next steps in the enrollment process is applying for financial assistance (if applicable). Here at St. Cecilia, we believe all children should have access to a Catholic education here at St. Cecilia. We are blessed to have a community that shares that same mindset:

1. St. Cecilia Parish Tuition Assistance: The St. Cecilia Education Endowment Board awards at least $50,000 each year for school families who are in need of tuition assistance. If interested, families can go through the Blackbaud Financial Aid Management process. Please see the handout below for a detailed how-to tutorial for this process. All applications are due May 2, 2022.

2. Children's Scholarship Fund: Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF) of Omaha provides partial-tuition scholarships to low-income children in Grades 1-8. The scholarships are awarded based on financial need. Just like St. Cecilia, CSF believes that all families, regardless of income should be able to choose the best educational setting for their children. By providing scholarship assistance during the time a child's educational foundation is being established, CSF believes that it is helping prepare children for continued success. There are two handouts below that outline the steps for applying for assistance from the CSF.
