Scholarships/Financial Aid

Saint Ambrose has numerous opportunities to help support parents with the financial responsibility of having their child attend the school. These financial assistance programs are available to help parents of St. Ambrose students in grades 1-6 meet their tuition responsibilities. There is no financial assistance for our Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten programs.  Parents, though, who have two or more children attending St. Ambrose School, one in kindergarten and the other(s) registered in grade 1-6, are eligible for financial assistance.  Listed below are both the finacial assistance and scholarship opportunities
