Scholarships
All applicants must be registered students at Seton Catholic or must have begun the application process. Everyone must complete a CEA application before April 18. You may also apply online at www.fairapp.com.
Applicants may also apply for specific scholarships available to Seton Catholic students. In order to be considered for these scholarships, please print and submit the Seton Scholarship Application. You will also need a letter of recommendation.
The financial needs of our families exceed our financial aid resources. Therefore, awards do not eliminate tuition payments for a family. There are very few exceptions to this rule, and recipients are usually in a very narrow category designated by the donor of the financial aid funds.
Families wishing to be considered for financial assistance based on need must complete the FAIR Application online.
- School code for the online application is 700
- Password is cea700
- Seton School code is 703
Applicants must file the FAIR/CEA application as well as the Seton Scholarship Application which is due June 30th. Scholarship recipients are notified as scholarships become available. Non-recipients are not notified. General Endowment Scholarships are available in addition to the listed scholarships. All scholarships are dependent on funding.
