SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID
The generosity of our alumni, friends and the Sisters of Mercy helps us to achieve our goal of making a St. Vincent’s Academy education affordable for those who want the best for their daughters. St. Vincent’s Academy utilizes the services of Smart Tuition Aid to determine financial need. The Smart Tuition Aid Application is returned directly to the company, not the school, and must include all the required paperwork and processing fee. Only one Smart Tuition Aid Application per family should be completed each year.
GRACE Scholarship Program
Students who are enrolled in a Georgia public school for the 2017-18 school year and who have a demonstrated financial need may qualify for tuition assistance through the GRACE Scholarship Program. The dollar amount of the award varies based on financial need and must be applied for each year. Applicants must complete both the Smart Tuition Aid Application and the GRACE Scholarship Application.
Diocesan Financial Aid
The Savannah Diocese and Deanery Office offers financial aid to who have a demonstrated financial need. The Smart Tuition Aid Application and all paperwork must be submitted by March 15, 2017.
