Catholic Education Foundation
of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc.

The Catholic Education Foundation of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc., was established to offer a faith-filled, academically excellent Catholic education to as many children as possible. As the cost of operating a school is ever increasing, tuition rates prevent many families from considering a Catholic school as an educational option for their child. Through its robust annual tuition assistance program, the Catholic Education Foundation makes it possible for children and their families to experience the life transforming education offered daily in Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Washington.

• Since its inception in 2011, the Catholic Education Foundation has administered more than 6,500 tuition assistance awards each academic year.

• In the 2019-2020 academic year, some 20% of students in archdiocesan Catholic schools will receive tuition assistance awards making it possible for them to experience the gift of a Catholic education. For the 2019-2020 academic year, the foundation will award $6.2 million to approximately 8,000 students who receive tuition assistance awards this year.

• The foundation provides tuition assistance for students with demonstrated financial need in Archdiocese of Washington (Washington D.C., Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Calvert County, CHarles County, and St. Mary's County)
