Paramus Catholic acknowledges students who have demonstrated exceptional academic ability. At the time of acceptance, an applicant scoring in the top of the entrance test, who also has an excellent record of academic achievement in elementary school, will be eligible to apply for the Aquinas Scholars program. This is a rigorous, challenging sequence of courses designed for highly motivated, academically gifted students. Entrance into the program is by invitation only, as determined by performance on both the Archdiocesan admissions exam, Paramus Catholic’s scholarship exam, and academic achievement in grades seven and eight. All students selected for the program will receive a substantial scholarship. To encourage future success, these scholarships are renewable each year, provided the recipient remains in the program.
PC Financial Aid: Families with serious need are encouraged to apply for financial aid. Information sheets and applications are available from the Business Office. The deadline is March 30th. Aid requests are processed confidentially through an outside service.
The Newark Archdiocesan Sponsored Program: Scholarship Fund for Inner City Children. The applicants with the greatest need will be considered for this program. Applications are available from the Business Office. Click here to visit the SFIC website.
Alumni Pride Grant: The children of all PC alumni will receive this $250 grant towards PC tuition.
Sibling Discount: All students with a brother and/or sister at PC will receive a $650 per child. A family with two children in the school will thus receive a discount of $1300. This can be particularly helpful to families who wish to send both sons and daughters to the same school.
Catholic Elementary School Teacher’s Discount for Tuition: In recognition of the outstanding service of our Catholic elementary teachers (under contract for 2009-10) in preparing students for PC, a grant of $500 for each of their children is awarded.
Spanish language versions of all financial information and forms are available.
