At St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School, we are dedicated to making quality Catholic education accessible to all families in our community. Through the generosity of our parish and the Diocese, there are many scholarships and financial aid opportunities designed to support students in their faith journey and academic growth. These scholarships reflect our commitment to nurturing young minds and hearts in a Christ-centered environment, where each student is encouraged to reach their full potential. 

Doris Herlitska Scholarship

We are thrilled to announce a new scholarship fund at St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School, made possible through a generous estate gift of over $100,000 from Doris Herlikska. The Doris Herlitska Scholarship Fund is available for the 2025-2026 academic year for all current and prospective students. This fund has been established with a deep commitment to supporting families in our community, ensuring that the opportunity for a Catholic education remains accessible to all who seek it. We invite any family needing assistance to apply and take advantage of this blessing, as we work together to build a future rooted in faith, knowledge, and service.
