Service Beyond Self is integral to the St. Andrew Catholic School mission. Our school works hard to provide tuition assistance for families in order to make Catholic education a reality for all students. We have an active Parent Teacher Organization who works hard annually to raise money for this cause. Applications are taken online through our FACTS system during the registration process. We encourage those families in need to apply for tuition assistance.
ESTF is accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year.
If you receive funding from ESTF this school year, please be sure to fill out your application for 2026-2027 before January 15. This is for current recipients and incoming siblings of current recipients. Please note: In accordance with Act 11, all returning families must submit an application through FACTS for the 2026-2027 school year. There are no exceptions.
Applications open January 15 for recipients with a household income at or below 300% federal poverty line, children of active duty military stationed in SC, and/or students who attended a SC public school the previous year.
Applications open February 9 for ALL up to 500% federal poverty line.
Important to know: Applications will not be processed and added to the queue until all supporting documents have been uploaded. Be sure to have documents ready before beginning your application. All families seeking financial aid from St. Andrew must apply to ESTF first. The school does not get notified of acceptance; families must make the school aware of receipt of funds.
