BLOCS Emergency Scholarship Tuition Assistance

Dear Parents/Guardians Our continued thoughts and prayers are with each of you and your families during the most unprecedented and uneasy time. We understand that during this time, it may be difficult for some families to be able to make their tuition payments. The BLOCS Scholarship Committee has approved to accept Emergency Scholarship requests due to a hardship developing from the COVID-19 virus. This may be to a loss of a job or a reduction in hours due to businesses being closed or open with limited hours. In the description, please explain the hardship in a little more detail than, I lost my job. Example-Mrs. Smith lost her job at the drug store due to the store having to close due to the COVID-19 virus. The application needs to be complete, however, if you are having a difficult time with having the parents sign the application, you can initial the application for them. For a request to be considered, the application needs to be completed. I am attaching the application. When you have that completed (I will fill in the dollar amounts if necessary) you need to send the application and a 2018 or 2019 tax return to me at the rectory. Since the Scholarship Committee is expecting an abundance of requests, they are limiting the award amounts to $750.00 per student for Grade Schools. The families did not need to apply for Aid in the past. Thank you for your patience with this detailed process. If you have any questions, please contact me by email or telephone the rectory 215 945-1166. Mrs. Brown The link to the form IS posted in "Useful Links' and was emailed to you tonight.
