(Davenport, IA) -- Scott County Catholic Schools have announced a new Tuition Transfer Credit program.
The coalition of Catholic elementary schools in Davenport and Bettendorf, as well as Assumption High School, says the TTC program was created to give a $1,500 tuition grant over two years. The grants are for students entering 1st through 8th grades this fall, who are not currently enrolled in a Catholic school.
“We have an outstanding community inside our schools and our test scores outpace those of our peers. We don’t want tuition to be an obstacle for families whose children could benefit from a Catholic school education,” said Andy Craig, President of Assumption High School.
The schools say the program is meant to help offset financial barriers for families considering a Catholic education. A similar program has been well received in Omaha, Nebraska and Des Moines.
The Tuition Transfer Program begins immediately, and continues through the summer, or until available seats are filled. Certain restrictions apply. For more information click here.
