Tuition Assistance Information 2015-2016 When you come up the hill, you enter a place where the academic, the personal, the spiritual, the innovative and the traditional combine to create a one-of-a-kind school. Hoban is that rare place where you can always be yourself, where you can stay true to you. A place where you can become the person God is calling you to be. Archbishop Hoban High School 2014-15 Tuition Assistance Information Scholarships Need-Based Tuition Assistance Program Blessed Father Basil Moreau, C.S.C. Scholarships These renewable scholarships are offered to students whose scores on the scholarship placement test are exceptional. A special application is mailed to these scholars. An essay, teacher recommendation and interview are required to determine those who best meet Father Moreau’s philosophy of educating both the heart and the mind. Need-based tuition assistance is awarded to families who demonstrate financial need. Parents or guardians must complete the Private School Aid Service (PSAS) form, submit their most recent IRS 1040 and W-2 forms and meet all deadlines. Placement Test Scholarships Archbishop Hoban High School sponsors scholarships of various amounts for at least the top twenty-five (25) students on the designated Scholarship Placement Tests. Renewal of this four-year award requires a 3.2 grade point average. Holy Cross Scholarships This is a prestigious award that Archbishop Hoban High School offers to incoming students who exemplify the Holy Cross core values. Recipients of the Holy Cross Scholarship are chosen by Hoban’s administrative team after a review of the scholarship applications. The selected students excel in the classroom, lead by example, live their faith, are well-rounded, and generously share their talents with others. The award is renewable based on the student maintaining a 3.2 grade point average and showing that same kind of leadership as part of the Hoban community. Endowed Scholarships Archbishop Hoban High School has been blessed with a number of families and organizations that have established endowed scholarships for qualified Hoban students. These endowed scholarships must be applied for annually and are awarded to students who demonstrate academic excellence, cocurricular involvement, and leadership. All students who are seeking financial aid are encouraged to apply. Many, but not all, endowed scholarships require financial need. Each scholarship has specific criteria so scholarship applications must be completed fully and carefully. The scholarship committee will evaluate many aspects including academic marks, cocurricular involvement, leadership, student essay and teacher recommendations. Grants The Family Plan This is a tuition reduction granted to families having two or more students attending Archbishop Hoban during the same school year. Please notify the business office if you are eligible. This discount is $750 for the second student and $900 for each succeeding student. Catholic School Teacher Grant This is a tuition reduction for each student with a parent who is a fulltime teacher or administrator in a Catholic elementary school. If both parents are teachers in a Catholic elementary school, only one grant is applicable. Proof of employment is required. Notify the Hoban business office if you are eligible. This grant is for $500. Diocesan Tuition Assistance These grants are provided by the Diocese of Cleveland based on financial need. Applicants must complete a Private School Aid Service (PSAS) form in order to be considered for these grants. Incoming ninth grade students are given PSAS forms after the placement tests. Current Hoban students may obtain PSAS forms in Hoban’s central office in mid-December. Funds awarded by the Diocese of Cleveland will be deducted from the total Hoban aid package. Once the PSAS form, IRS 1040 and W-2 are complete, they should be mailed to Private School Aid Service with the required fee. Incoming ninth graders receive the PSAS when they take the placement test. Those who wish early notification must submit their completed forms no later than December 1, 2014. Current Hoban students can obtain the PSAS form from the central office during December. These are due by March 1, 2015 and must include the most recent 1040 and W-2 forms. Families of incoming ninth graders who already have a student enrolled at Hoban are asked to complete one PSAS application using the most recent (2014) tax and income information. PSAS forms are available on the Hoban web site at www.hoban.org under Those who meet the December 1 deadline will be notified no later than the first week of January regarding their estimated financial aid award. These awards are based on financial need and are credited against the tuition based on the family’s chosen payment plan. All assistance must be applied for each year. Each year awards are based on updated information provided in the PSAS form submitted by the family. Assistance is awarded to families in need and come with the expectation that the students who receive them work toward academic success. It is suggested students who receive these grants also participate in our work-study program. Need-based tuition assistance is funded through the generosity of the Hoban Board of Trustees, the Hoban Trust Fund, the GAR Foundation, the Diocese of Cleveland and many generous alumni, parents and other benefactors. Work-Study Program Work-Study is a program that gives tuition credit for a student’s work on Hoban’s maintenance or janitorial crew during the summer and school year. On-campus jobs are not limited to students who have obtained financial assistance. Once work slots are filled with those students who receive need-based financial assistance, the program is open to other student applicants. Preference is given to underclassmen who are not eligible to receive a work permit. Incoming ninth grade students receive application forms for workstudy when they register for classes in March. Current Hoban students obtain a work-study application form from the central office any time after March 14. A grant from the GAR Foundation partially funds this program.
