Tuition Grants are given out every year from the Father Fuller Endowment for Tuition Assistance grants.  Tuition grants are available yearly and are handled in complete confidentiality. These grants are meant for families who fall above the WPCP income limits, but may still need some assistance to provide a Catholic education for their child(ren).
Applications are due at the end of March for the following year and those applications will be given priority consideration.  However, you are encouraged to apply anytime outside the priority consideration period.

The Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) allows students to attend a participating private school if certain eligibility criteria are met.  If the family’s income placed them at or below 220% of the federal poverty guidelines you may consider applying for a voucher through the WPCP via the Department of Public Instruction (DPI).  These vouchers are awarded on a lottery basis a cover the cost of the base tuition and the registration fee.

Claim a Private School Tuition Tax Deduction
Private school parents can benefit from Wisconsin’s K-12 tuition tax deduction by simply completing a one-page form with their 2022 state tax filing.
This is a state tax deduction that was won by WCRIS for private K-12 school parents across the state. But it does no good for private school families and schools unless parents claim it.  A simple form can help families deduct up to $4,000 for K-8 tuition and $10,000 for 9-12 tuition on their state income taxes.
