    About this scholarship

    This program supports underprivileged families by helping their children obtain a Catholic education. It provides tuition assistance to students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, allowing them to attend local Catholic schools. The initiative aims to strengthen the local church parish community by making private religious education more accessible to families facing financial hardships. Initially established to support students attending St. Bernard Catholic School in Breaux Bridge, the program seeks to expand its reach and replicate this financial assistance model across other Catholic schools operating within the Diocese of Lafayette.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
