Tuition Assistance
For families with a child (or children) that will be in the K-8 program next year and wish to apply for tuition assistance for the upcoming school year, please see below:

* If you have applied for/received tuition assistance from SJS in the past, login HERE to open the SJS Grant & Aid Website.   The password/username may be different than your Family Portal Login.  If you are having trouble, please reach out to FACTS financial support at 1-866-441-4637.

* If you have never applied for tuition assistance from SJS in the past, please email our Tuition Manager, Denise Mayo, at dmayo@saintjamesmanchester.org and she will help get you started.

You will need to have your completed 2025 Tax Return available to upload.

 

Parish Affiliation Forms
As a reminder, K-8 families looking to receive the Catholic tuition rate must submit a new Parish Affiliation Form each year.  Tuition discounts for approved Parish Affiliation Forms will be credited to family accounts in the next few weeks.  If you have not yet submitted a form for the 2026-2027 school year but plan to do so, please note the deadline of June 30th.
