Saint Mary’s offering new grant for students of parents working at Catholic schools in MN

Saint Mary’s University is offering free tuition to children of faculty and staff members employed by Catholic schools in Minnesota. The Catholic Educator Promise is a donor funded program in which eligible students can apply for a “last dollar” grant that covers tuition costs for four years of college after all other scholarships and grants, according to a press release from SMU. Eligibility for the grant is dependent on several factors, including prospective students having a parent or guardian working full-time at a Minnesota Catholic school, being accepted to Saint Mary’s, living on-campus and filing for federal student aid. Incoming students will be eligible for the Catholic Educator Promise starting in the spring semester of 2025.
