SCHOLARSHIPS

January 6, 2025

Dear Parents and Students,

St. Hilary School is pleased to again partner with the St. Hilary Parish Foundation to offer a variety of scholarships to help our school families for the 2025-2026 school year. Available to students currently enrolled at St. Hilary School in grades K-7, each of the scholarships being offered has unique criteria so that, together, they are open to the broadest possible range of students and families. The criteria for each scholarship were set by the donors. The available scholarships for which students may apply for the 2025-2026 school year are listed on the application form.

• One common application will allow a student to apply for as many of the listed scholarships as he or she desires.

• One essay written by a parent of the student applicant, and one essay written by the student applicant (for students entering grades 6-8 only) will suffice for all scholarships applied for, provided the essay addresses the qualifications for each scholarship sought.

• In addition, each student applicant must complete one teacher recommendation request form seeking a recommendation from a teacher who currently has the student in class. The teacher recommendation will apply to each scholarship sought by the applicant.

• To assist in awarding the most comprehensive funding package for each student, these scholarships also require that a Preliminary Funding Information & Income Verification Form be submitted. This form must be submitted to be considered for any of these scholarships.

• Scholarships based exclusively on need also require that the applicant complete an online FACTS tuition assistance application.

• Application materials for the scholarships are linked below.

• All materials must be submitted per the instructions listed on the forms, and all are due by March 1, 2025.

• Please note that in order for teachers to submit their recommendations by this date, students must submit recommendation request forms to teachers by February 12, 2025.

• All students applying for scholarships must also be re-registered for the 2025-2026 school year by the March 1 application deadline.

The completed Scholarship Application Form, Parent Essay Form, Student Essay Form (if applicable), and Preliminary Funding Information & Income Verification Form must be submitted by March 1, 2025 to:

St. Hilary Parish Foundation

Scholarship Application

2750 W. Market Street

Fairlawn, OH 44333

NOTE: Because March 1 falls on a Saturday, you may submit hard copies of application materials to the above address by February 28 or email digital copies of application materials to Diane Sarkis, St. Hilary Parish Foundation Executive Director, at d.sarkis@sthilaryfoundation.org, by March 1.

Questions may be directed to Diane Sarkis, St. Hilary Parish Foundation Executive Director, at d.sarkis@sthilaryfoundation.org.

All materials and the information they contain will be treated confidentially. Each scholarship awarded will be applied directly to the respective recipient student’s 2025-2026 tuition. In order to encourage as many families as possible to apply and to respect the privacy of the recipients, names of scholarship recipients will not be published and recipients will be notified privately as part of their total tuition funding award package.

With the availability of the EdChoice Scholarship,
the threshold for need will be altered so that families in increasingly higher income brackets
will have a greater opportunity to be considered for other funding.
We encourage all St. Hilary School families to consider applying for one or more of these scholarships, especially if financial need or special circumstances are present.

Families are also encouraged to apply for
the EdChoice Scholarship,
the Angel Scholarship,
and need-based tuition assistance by applying online through FACTS
by March 1, regardless of also applying for any of these scholarships,
so that the most comprehensive funding package can be awarded.

With gratitude for your choice of a Catholic education at St. Hilary School,

Fr. Steve Brunovsky
Pastor, St. Hilary Parish

Mrs. Jennifer Woodman
Principal, St. Hilary School
