Tuition Assistance
Students at St. Jerome were awarded over $600,000 in financial assistance for the 2024-25 school year. All tuition assistance is “need-based”.
St. Jerome uses Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) www.tads.com, to determine the financial need of all families. If you are a new family and interested in learning more about how to apply for admissions and financial aid, please contact our Director of Enrollment, Grace Zappa by calling 651-771-8494 or by email: gzappa@stjeromeschool.org.
If you desire a Catholic education for your child, please talk with us. We make every effort to help families with tuition assistance. Tuition scholarships are available to those with qualifying financial need.
Aim Higher Scholarships
The Aim Higher Scholarship is a $1,000, student-based scholarship awarded to K-8 students from families with demonstrated financial need. Once a student is awarded the scholarship, they will continue to receive an additional $1,000 scholarship each year up to and through 8th grade as long as the yearly financial aid application continues to show need. The scholarship will also follow the student from year to year if he or she transfers to another Catholic school in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
To be eligible for the Aim Higher Scholarship, a student must be in enrolled in grades K-8 or have plans to apply to a K-8 grade at St. Jerome School. Returning scholars, in grades 6, 7, or 8 are also eligible if they are enrolled in, transfer to, or plan to enroll in a 6-12 or 7-12 Catholic school. Eligible students must demonstrate financial need as determined by the TADS financial aid application.
