Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) Tuition Awards

High School TAP
Tuition awards are given to families who meet criteria at or below the federal guidelines for poverty, and would otherwise be unable to afford a Catholic education for their student(s). A majority of families who receive this assistance are awarded $2,000 per year.
  
Incoming 9th graders who currently have a CEF award (in their 8th grade year), should apply for 2024-25 school year through their elementary schools. Please check with your elementary school for the CEF renewal deadline. Most school's CEF application deadlines are in December.
 
Incoming 9th graders who do not currently have a CEF award, but may possibly qualify for a CEF award (under CEF financial guidelines) should apply directly to Bishop Montgomery by December 2023. 
 
Current BMHS 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students who currently receive a CEF award, or may possibly qualify for a CEF award (under CEF financial guidelines) for the 2024-25 school year, should apply directly to Bishop Montgomery by January 12, 2024.
