Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible to apply?
Families of students entering grades K - 12 who demonstrate financial need may apply.
What if I have had a divorce? Who should complete the PSAS Student Aid Form?
In the case of divorced families, the parent who claims the child and is responsible for the tuition should complete the form. If your case is unique, contact PSAS for direction.
Who decides the amount of the grant?
While PSAS will make award recommendations to the Archdiocese of Washington, the final decision lies with the Financial Aid Committee. All information is kept confidential throughout the process.
Do I have to file separate applications for each child attending a school in the Archdiocese of Washington?
No. You should list all siblings on the same application. In fact, if PSAS processes applications for schools that your other children attend, they can potentially be considered for aid from their respective schools with just one application!
Must I file every year?
Yes. Families are required to reapply every year before the deadline date.
