Tuition Assistance

​Every year parents ask, “What can we do to get help with funding?”  There are so many scholarship opportunities out there that it may become confusing for a family just starting out, or even for a family with past experience.  To help you sort through the various opportunities, we have provided a short description for several tuition support organizations.  To find out more about any of the organizations, just click on the logo or the link included within the description.

​If you have questions about scholarships, please contact Michele Hackett (mhackett@stjosephtucson.org) or Claudia Teran (cteran@stjosephtucson.org) at 747-3060.
