Tuition Assistance

St. James is committed to providing bright, motivated, curious students with an unparalleled education regardless of their ability to pay. We offer tuition assistance to admitted students in grades PreK-3 through 5th grade. It is our hope that financial awards bridge the gap between what a family can afford for education and the cost of tuition. 

We use FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) to process your tuition assistance application. FAST applications must be submitted through the FAST website, and they must be completed by early February for priority consideration. Applicants may apply for tuition assistance after this deadline, though funds may be limited.  A copy of the prior year’s tax returns is required with the applications.
