At Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic School, our goal is to make Catholic education affordable and accessible to all families.  With the grace of God and donors, we have been able to offer tuition assistance to families in need.

For the 2017/2018 school year, we were able to offer $23,500 in EITC/OSTC tuition assistance to approximately 22 families. We offered double the financial assistance for the 2018/2019 school year.
