Education Freedom Scholarships will allow residents of Tennessee who have a child entitled to attend a public school in grades K-12 to use state funds toward education expenses, including tuition and/or fees at registered Category I, II, or III private schools located in Tennessee. SJNCS is a participating school in this program.
The scholarships for 2025-2026 have closed. We will update here when the applications for 2026-2027 are open.

Our Diocese is richly blessed to have supportive parishes who contribute monetary support to the Knoxville Regional Catholic Schools Operating Fund (KRCSOF). Along with providing the standard subsidy for every Catholic child in Catholic school, this fund provides additional financial assistance to our families who desire a Catholic school education , but might not otherwise be able to afford one.
In order to qualify for assistance, you must complete an online application through FACTS Management. The tuition support applications for the 2025-2026 school year are closed. Applications for tuition assistance were due Friday, December 13th. The links below provide the instructions for completing the 2025-2026 applications. Please check back in late fall for information about applications for the 2026-2027 school year.
If you need further assistance, please contact Christine Roeck at croeck@sjncs-knox.org or (865)777-3423.
To receive the Catholic Student Tuition Rate, you must complete the 2025-2026 Stewardship/Parish Contribution Form, signed by your parish and returned to SJNCS.
