STA Students
Each year, scholarships are available from several organizations and families dedicated to providing financial aid to families in our school.
Holy Name Society
The Holy Name Society Scholarship will be awarded to a rising 6th grade student. The purpose of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church Holy Name Society Scholarship Fund is to provide one need-based scholarship to a rising 6th grader attending St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School for the 2024-2025 school year. The scholarship will assist with tuition costs for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in the amount of $4,500 annually for the three middle school years.
LSA Family Foundation
The LSA Family Foundation Scholarship provides two scholarships.
One single-year, non-renewable scholarship of $5,000 to an STA family with 2 or more students in Catholic school and/or college to financially assist with STA tuition costs. The family must have at least one currently enrolled St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School student who is re-enrolled for 2024-2025, and at least one student in the family enrolled at a Catholic high school and/or college (full-time). The college student in the family does not need to attend a Catholic institution.
