Program Information

The Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future STO is funded by numerous generous donors from across the Archdiocese of Dubuque. All donors received an Iowa Tax Credit equal to 65% of their gift, with all donations qualifying for a federal income tax deduction for their 2009 returns. Donors interested in contributing to this program during 2010 can download a donor application at www.ourfaithsto.org. The goal for 2010 is to raise $3.73 million to be used in the 2011-12 school year.

Families are eligible for the STO assistance if their adjusted gross income for 2009 is at or below 300% of the poverty level. The poverty level is set by federal guidelines. The level of STO assistance recommended by PSAS will be based upon family income, number of dependants, and the total K-12 tuition bill for the family.

*STO Qualifying Levels 2010-00

* STO qualifying levels are based upon 300% of 2010 Federal Poverty Levels as required by Iowa law.

**Family size includes parents/guardians plus total number of dependents claimed on 2009 tax return.

*** Families are eligible for STO assistance if their adjusted gross income is at or below the above listed income

levels. Local assistance is not based upon the above. Falling within these guidelines does not necessarily guarantee tuition assistance.
For each additional dependent add $11,220.

All families who want to be considered for tuition assistance must fill out the PSAS application.
