Inner-City Scholarship Fund
|
Thanks for your interest!
Thank you for your interest in the Inner-City Scholarship Fund, the signature program of the Catholic Schools Foundation of Boston.
Rather than funding individual scholarships to students, CSF awards grants to qualifying schools along with guidelines for distributing the money. Using its funding level and the guidelines, each school manages its own scholarship application process. Typically schools have a committee that reviews scholarship applications and communicates each student's financial aid package.

Please Contact your school, or the Catholic Schools Office
Since the application review process is conducted at the school level and because the schools may have other sources of financial aid available, students' families should inquire of the principal(s) at the school(s) the student wishes to attend. Application materials, requirements and deadlines are provided by each funded school and may vary from school to school.
