Catholic Student Assistance Fund

Support the Advancement of Catholic Education in North Florida

Catholic education in North Florida has been synonymous with academic excellence, character development, and faith formation. The Catholic Student Assistance Fund (CSAF) plays a critical role in ensuring that every child, regardless of financial background, can access this high-quality education. By covering additional costs such as transportation and academic fees that the Step Up Scholarship does not, CSAF enables children in need to attend any of the thirty Catholic schools in the Diocese of St. Augustine.

Endorsed by Bishop Pohlmeier, this initiative provides students with necessary financial assistance for tuition, academic fees, or rural transportation fees, based on their level of need. Applications for this assistance will be accepted through the established financial aid process, managed by the Office of the Superintendent, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year registration.

Your support is vital. Every donation directly benefits children attending Catholic schools throughout the diocese, offering them a Christ-centered education that nurtures the whole person in a safe and welcoming environment. By contributing to CSAF, you are not only aiding individual students but also reinforcing our community and ensuring the sustained legacy of Catholic education in North Florida.

We invite you to join us in this important endeavor. Your gift is more than a donation; it is an investment in the future of our children, our faith, and our community. Together, we can make a significant impact.
