New Student Referral Credit

At St. Joseph Catholic School, our families are our greatest ambassadors. When you refer a new family to our school, you’re helping us grow a strong, faith-filled community, and we want to thank you for it!

Here’s how it works:

  • When a family you refer enrolls at SJCS, you’ll receive a $250 tuition credit in October (or one month after their start date if they enroll mid-year).

  • If the new family remains enrolled through the school year, you’ll receive an additional $250 credit in May.

  • Families who’ve already paid tuition in full will receive an incentive equal to the credit amount.

To qualify:

  • The referred student must be new to SJCS (no siblings currently or previously enrolled).

  • The referral must be acknowledged during the family’s initial contact with the school, and the referral form must be submitted at registration.

  • Each SJCS family may earn up to two referral credits per school year.

Tuition Assistance

Financial aid is provided to families on a need basis as determined by FACTS Grant and Aid and as funds are available. Financial Aid applications will only be reviewed after a student has received an official letter of acceptance from St. Joseph Catholic School.

To begin your application for Tuition Assistance please visit the FACTS Financial Aid portal through your Renweb login.

St. Joseph Catholic School recognizes that finances play a significant role in your decision to enroll your child in a Catholic school. Families should not be discouraged from applying to St. Joseph for financial reasons.

  • ACE SCHOLARSHIPS – K TO 12TH GRADE – NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS

    ACE Scholarships provide additional assistance to low-income families in eligible private schools with students in kindergarten through 12th grade in thirteen U.S. states. In order for a family to apply, the school must have received approval from ACE and completed a 2025-26 ACE School Partnership Agreement.

    The 2025-26 ACE Scholarships application for new and returning students will open on Monday, February 3, 2025. Applications will close on Tax Day (April 15, 2025) at 11:59 p.m. in the school’s time zone. Information can be found at: acescholarships.org.

    ACE Scholarships use a different FACTS link. Beginning last year, parents will need to apply on a separate ACE FACTS link (not the same as the Diocese/Schools link). However, parents who applied on FACTS in 2025-26 will not need to pay the $45 fee again, as long as they have already applied for Diocesan financial aid and use their existing FACTS Grant & Aid login (do not create a new one). Detailed information, including updated income eligibility guidelines, will be provided in late January prior to the application opening. Additionally, important information for both parents and schools can be found in their Help Center.

  • The Jethsuby Foundation offers scholarships to Latino students who have at least one parent born outside of the United States and who are enrolled in or have applied to a Catholic elementary school in the Diocese of Dallas in grades 1 – 8. Nominations for the scholarship are handled through the principal’s office at each school and are based on academic performance, character, and participation in school activities. The Jethsuby scholarship application period began January 1, 2025 and ends the last Friday in February (February 28, 2025). Families must reapply annually at both FACTS Grant & Aid (online.factsmgt.com/aid) and the Jethsuby website (jethsuby.org/EN/index.aspx). Website also available in Spanish. Letters of recommendation from the parish pastor and principal/teacher are required.

  • CSO Tuition Assistance is available to families who need financial assistance with the tuition of students in Kinder through 12th grade at eligible diocesan schools.

    The regular round application period began on December 21, 2024, and ends on March 20, 2025. Please remind new families and currently enrolled families who were unable to apply in the priority round to apply in FACTS at online.factsmgt.com/aid.

    Full details can be found on the CSO Tuition Assistance website (please send link to parents) at: csodallas.org/student-aid. Website also available in Spanish.
