Tuition Assistance Information for Returning Families

CAWNY offers a generous tuition assistance program.  After completing the Tuition Assistance form, your family may be eligible to receive a substantial discount on all tuition costs.  This assistance can work hand-in-hand with the Bison Fund Scholarship Program (mandatory - please read details below) as well as the Volunteer Program. 

 

Tuition Assistance is based on the family's income, number of students enrolling and family size.  It is available to families with children in Grades K4 to 12.  

 

Remember, Applications for Tuition Assistance must be returned by May 31, 2024 (a postmark on or before May 31 is fine). 

 

Applications (or tax information) from current CAWNY families received after May 31, 2024, will be subject to reduced tuition assistance.

 

 

 

For returning K-7th grade families, applying for Bison Fund assistance is a mandatory requirement before applying for tuition assistance from CAWNY. In order to receive tuition assistance from CAWNY, you must qualify financially and you must have already applied for a Bison Fund Scholarship before their deadline.

 

The Bison Fund is a privately funded program that offers tuition assistance to low-income families.  It is an annual lottery that awards amounts at a minimum of $500 towards a child's education, with the largest grant available at $2,500.00 per child.  This money is allowed to be used at any private grammar school, K through 8, of choice.  Families in all eight counties are eligible to apply if you meet the financial guidelines.  New applications are due by March 15 for the following school year.  Please visit their website for more information:  www.BisonFund.com.
