Affordability
We firmly believe that Catholic education should be accessible to all families who wish it for their children. However, we understand that financial considerations make a Catholic education seem out of reach to some families. Therefore, we have established tuition assistance for families who need assistance to achieve the goal of Catholic education.

How do I know if I am eligible for tuition assistance?
Tuition assistance can only be determined by completing a financial profile on a third-party service. After examining each family situation, a decision is made on eligibility for tuition assistance. Priority will be given to Catholic families who are registered in their Parish and actively participate in parish life.
How can I apply for tuition assistance?
The online tuition assistance application will be provided to prospective and current families. In order to fill out the application, you will need a complete copy of this year’s or last year’s IRS Form 1040, your current W-2’s and your current PA-40 or utility bill.
Where does tuition assistance come from and how much is available?
Tuition assistance provided by Delone Catholic High School comes from a variety of generous supporters, including local parishes, generous benefactors and the Neumann Scholarship Program. The Neumann Scholarship, administered by the Diocese of Harrisburg, uses Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) funds; these funds in turn come from generous businesses who direct their tax dollars to provide tuition subsidies for our students. Only Pennsylvania residents are eligible for Neumann Scholarships. In addition to the Neumann Scholarships, Delone Catholic has additional tuition assistance funds established by a variety of benefactors. Interest earned each year is given out in tuition assistance to both Pennsylvania and Maryland residents.
Note: When you submit your STS Tuition Assistance Application, you are automatically considered for these tuition assistance funds. If you receive any of these funds, you will be notified in April.
