Each year , it is our goal to meet the needs of all families who require assistance and to ensure fairness.  We conduct a yearly evaluation of all tuition assistance applications.  It is also our mission to make Catholic education at St. Thomas More Parish School available and accessible to all our families.

FACTS will be processing all Tuition Assistance applications for Fulcrum and St. Thomas More Parish School for the upcoming school year.  All Families applying for Tuition Assistance must complete an application yearly and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS by December 1st.  A family may qualify for St. Thomas More Tuition Assistance even if you do not qualify for Tuition Assistance from the Fulcrum Foundation.

Applicants can apply online through the FACTS link https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/4C53T.  Each family will pay a $42 application fee to FACTS.  Once an online application has been submitted, the following information must be sent to FACTS to complete the application process:

• Copies of your most recent Federal tax forms
• Copies of your 2018 W-2 forms for both you and your spouse.
