We will submit the application to the State of Indiana Department of Education and notify you of your acceptance.

The Christian Educational Foundation makes available funds for financial assistance, once a year, to those students in need that desire a Catholic education. The grant is for one full school year and applies only to tuition. The amount of the grant is ultimately determined by funds available in the CEF annual budget. Factors in determining grants include financial circumstances and needs of the applicant relative to all applications on file. Contact the CEF Office for more information (office@vincennescef.org).
