Educating Mind, Heart and Spirit
“To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
STO Program (Student Tuition Program)

 

Program Information

The Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future STO is funded by numerous generous donors from across the Archdiocese of Dubuque. All donors received an Iowa Tax Credit equal to 65% of their gift, with all donations qualifying for a federal income tax deduction for their 2011 returns. Donors interested in contributing to this program during 2012 can download a donor application at www.ourfaithsto.org. The goal for 2012 is to raise $4 million to be used in the 2012-13 school year.

Families are eligible for the STO assistance if their adjusted gross income for 2011 is at or below 300% of the poverty level. The poverty level is set by federal guidelines. The level of STO assistance recommended by PSAS will be based upon family income, number of dependants, and the total K-12 tuition bill for the family.
