JCA Tuition Grant Program

Families who have demonstrated financial need are further considered for a JCA grant. Eligibility requires application to the Bishop's Tuition Grant Program. Due to limited funding the JCA Tuition Grant s provide only a small portion of the cost of tuition and fees.

Work/Service Program

The required work or service includes light chores and cleaning of classrooms and grounds. Assignments made to special projects may involve more. Length of work/service assignment is in proportion to the amount of the grant.

Tuition Assistance Programs are subject to change at the discretion of the school.
To receive tuition assistance from any JCA resource, an application must be made to the Bishop's Tuition Grant Program.
