Archbishop Kucera Student Tuition Assistance and Minority Student Award

The Board of Education and Formation of St. Matthew School is the recipient of $6,157.25 grant award from the Educational Development Fund of the Archdiocese of Dubuque for the purpose of providing tuition assistance to those families who can least afford the cost of a Catholic School education. Grant awards were received from the Archbishop Kucera Grant Awards for the Tuition Assistance and/or the Minority Grant programs supported by the Archdiocesan Educational Development Fund. The Archdiocesan Educational Development Fund provided over $460,000 for these two programs for the 2011/12 program year.

The Archdiocesan Educational Development Fund has also provided an additional $80,000 in grant awards during 2011/12 for catechists’ formation resources and leadership development.

The Archdiocesan Educational Development Fund was developed for the purpose of supporting the educational programs of the Archdiocese. This is the twenty-sixth year that grants have been awarded. Over 7.2 million dollars have been distributed since the Archdiocesan Educational Development Fund was established. Grants are made possible through the generous donations of contributors and parishioners throughout the Archdiocese.
