We are pleased to announce that we are the first Catholic school in Delaware to become a participant in the Ace Scholarship Program. Founded in 2000 with the vision of ensuring that every child has access to a quality education, the Ace Foundation provides scholarships from $3,000 to $5,000 for low- and middle-income families across thirteen states. 

 
Families with a household income up to 350% of the national poverty level are eligible. For example, a family of 4 with an annual income of up to $110,000 would qualify. An eligibility chart is shown below.

Additionally, due to a special arrangement between the Ace Foundation and Mountaire, a Delmarva-based food processing company, employees of the company with annual incomes up to 600% of the national poverty level can still qualify for scholarships.  

 
Participation in the Ace Scholarship Program will open the door wider for local families who seek a Holy Cross education but need extra financial assistance. Bolstered by our own financial aid program, this partnership is truly a blessing for our students.

Families that receive an ACE Scholarship may still apply for our Variable Tuition Program and receive additional assistance.

 
Families interested in applying for an Ace scholarship need to do so by April 15th. Applications can be found HERE.
