Scholarships

Every Child Deserves A Chance To Succeed

The Step Up for Students program offers an educational opportunity to low-income families by providing children with educational scholarships so they can attend a private or public school of their choice. Under this program, students receive scholarships of up to $7,111 to attend an eligible private school. Scholarships are awarded to students with households that qualify per the program specifications and who successfully complete the application process by the deadline. Because the tuition at Monsignor Pace High School exceeds the $7,111 amount of the scholarship, the household is responsible for the additional charges. All households must remain current with their payments for any fees owed, not including the scholarship payments. Failure to pay a balance owed may result in the school suspending or expelling your student. If the student is expelled they will no longer be eligible for the scholarship. The Step Up for Students program will not renew or transfer scholarships while money is owed to the school. Please refer to the Step Up for Students website for more information and eligibility requirements. You may direct any questions to 305-623-PACE ext. 342.

The AAA Scholarship Foundation awards scholarships solely to qualifying low-income, disabled and/or displaced students. The typical AAA Scholarship student is an ethnic minority living with a struggling single parent/caregiver in a high crime community. More than 85 percent of AAA scholarships are distributed to children at or below 185 percent of poverty. Many children are either below grade level, failing at their previous school or both when they receive a scholarship. Parents, who find their children in these circumstances and are concerned about their future, look for viable options. They seek an atmosphere that challenges their child and will reverse inadequate learning, social patterns and the potential lifelong negative impact. They wish to change their child’s learning environment, acquaintances and the unfortunate predictable outcomes associated with school failure.
