Financial Aid

Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy’s financial aid fund is generously provided by the Catholic Schools Foundation.  Since we dispense Catholic Schools Foundation funds, we are required to follow their guidelines for the distribution of aid. You must fill out the application and send tax information in by these deadlines to be considered for aid:

  • Round 1 Financial Aid is March 15, 2012, with award letters sent in June and award applied to tuition accounts in September.
  • Round 2 Financial Aid is August 21, 2012, with award letters sent and award applied to tuition accounts in November.

All of the following requirements are mandatory to be considered for a grant from Catholic Schools Foundation and you can submit the application online or during the open houses as long as all of the following requirements are met:

  1. New students accepted for School Year 2012-2013 in the Academy must submit the registration fee and tuition deposit before applying for financial aid.  Current students in the Academy must pay the registration fee before applying for financial aid.  Please submit application materials and fees directly to the campus to reserve seat(s) in the Academy. No financial aid applications will be considered until the registration fee and the tuition deposit is received from the campus and processed by the business office.  Please call 617-265-0019 ext 7005/ 7004/7001 or email tuition@pjp2ca.org  for the status of your registration.
  2. The financial aid applicant must claim the student(s) on their tax return and students must be in grades K2 to 8 to be eligible.  The Academy needs all families to submit the Grant and Aid application for the students that will attend the Academy, even the Pre-K and K1 students. This will help PJP2CA when we apply for Grants for education programs, technology, services etc.
  3. The federal tax return for 2011 (page 1, 2 and all of the schedules used to prepare the tax return) and 2011 W2's must be submitted and/or proof of non-taxable income such as child support, SSI, TANF, Welfare, Food Stamps, Worker’s Compensation.  An application is not complete until the income information is received and processed by FACTS Management Company.
  4. Payments must be made through the FACTS Payment Plan or financial aid will not be awarded.

Sample tax documents are available on the following page right hand side under HELP.
