Financial Assistance
St. Malachy School is passionate about our Catholic faith and education. For more information regarding Financial Assistance, including specific application instructions and submission dates, contact Mr. John Kiefer, the parish business manager.
CHOICE Scholarship
The Indiana School Choice Scholarship Program (often referred to as ‘vouchers’) is Indiana tax money awarded to eligible Hoosier students to use toward parochial/private/charter school tuition. St. Malachy is certified to participate in this program.
A CHOICE scholarship will approximately cover 80-90% of all your tuition and fees.
IMPORTANT
Please review the family income guidelines below. If your household size and income is below the guidelines, you may qualify. The parish business office will contact you in February to collect the needed documents.
The church and school recognize the tremendous investment and commitment families spend in sending their kids to St. Malachy School. The Shamrock Family Scholarship was developed to address those families who do not qualify for the CHOICE scholarship or SGO grants, yet desire financial assistance to decrease the burden of tuition costs. All can apply and the criteria for this scholarship is stewardship, or the giving of your time, talent or treasure to St. Malachy Catholic Church and School.
St. Malachy Parishioners and stakeholders have the opportunity to make contributions to the Choice Charitable Trust,
designated for St. Malachy Catholic School. These funds can be used to provide scholarships to families
in need of assistance. Again, they are based upon household income and household size.
Service Hours
The service requirement is based on the example of Jesus, who stated that He came among us “not to be served but to service” (Matthew 20:26). Volunteering and serving on campus is a great way to lead by example, collaborate with other families, and to use your time, talent and treasure to support, enrich and strengthen St. Malachy. Each family is required to complete 20 hours of service to our church/school. The $400 deposit will be refunded or reapplied once the service hours are completed. This deposit needs to be paid in full by August 1, 2025.
