St. Giles School families (K-8) who are in good financial standing (i.e., current on tuition and fees for current and past school years or granted a pastor-approved hardship waiver) are eligible for consideration for scholarship. Fulfillment of the requirements of Contributing Parishioner status is required as well. For all Contributing Parishioners, this includes registration with St. Giles Parish, active participation in Parish life and monetary contributions in the amount of $15/week for a family with 1 child and $20/week for a family with 2 or more children for the full calendar year.

New families will be considered for scholarships once they have fully registered for St. Giles School and have met the Contributing Parishioner standards or have a waiver from the Pastor. Scholarship preference may be given to returning school families over families brand new to the school. Any recipient of a hardship waiver from the Pastor and/or Principal must submit an application for scholarship as well.

Preschool students are not eligible for Financial Aid or Scholarships.

Assessments and awards of scholarships will be made by the Scholarship Committee, which will assess need based on application materials and determine awards based on need and available scholarship resources under the school budget.

The Committee will consist of the Pastor, the Principal (or school-employed designee of the Principal), and three St. Giles parishioners selected by the pastor in consultation with the Board of Specified Jurisdiction. At least one Committee member, and no more than two of the parishioners, will be a member of the School’s Finance Committee. Committee members will serve calendar year terms. There will be no limitation on the number of terms served.

The Committee will establish procedures to maintain the confidentiality of all applicants and information submitted in connection with any application.
