Tuition Transfer Grant

With this two-year grant, families will receive $1,000 per student in year one, and $500 per student in year two, which will be applied to offset school tuition.
*Students transferring from another Catholic school within the Dioceses of Joliet, Peoria, Rockford, Springfield, and the Archdiocese of Chicago are not eligible.
Financial Aid Options
At St. John the Baptist, we believe a Catholic education should be available to every child. There are numerous options available in the form of grants thorough the school or through the Diocese for those who qualify for financial assistance for kindergarten – 8th grade. All families seeking financial assistance from the parish or the Catholic Education Foundation must complete a FACTS application by April 1. Visit FACTS to apply using the Welcome Grant and Aid Applicant form.
The grants from the school are provided through the generous donations of our parishioners. Gifts from the Diocese’s Catholic Education Fund (CEF) and the parish are awarded based on need and granted after your application is reviewed.
monsignor Cloos
Educational Assistance Fund
The St. John the Baptist Monsignor Cloos Educational Assistance Fund is used to provide financial assistance for tuition through the generous donations of St. John's parishioners. This fund was created in response to the State of Illinois sunsetting the Invest in Kids Act on December 31, 2023, which provided thousands of dollars in assistance to private schools in Illinois. To find out if you qualify for the Monsignor Cloos Educational Assistance Fund, please contact our business office at 630-668-0918 x0, or click the button below to send an inquiry.
