Financial Aid Policy
Financial Aid Policy
We are committed to making excellent education accessible by offering financial aid. Applying for aid does not affect our admissions decisions. We expect parents to prioritize their child’s RCS education in their financial planning and to consider all family resources and assets, including potential help from stepparents and grandparents, before applying for financial aid. Parents/guardians of students receiving financial assistance must reapply each year. Applications for re-enrolling students will open on January 1st for the upcoming school year.
For separated or divorced parents/guardians, financial information must also be provided by the non-custodial parent/guardian. These cases are evaluated individually. Financial information from stepparents and other adult supporters of the household will also be required. All application forms, tax information, and related documents are kept confidential. Financial aid awards for returning students will not be considered if the current year's account is overdue.

What is the Educational Improvement Tax Credit?
The PA Tax Law allows businesses and individuals to direct their state tax dollars to private schools of their choice.
Instead of sending your taxes to the state of Pennsylvania, where legislators decide how to spend your taxes, YOU can designate your state taxes to a private school of your choice, to be used as scholarships for children in need.
This can allow at-risk children, who would otherwise go to underperforming schools, to receive life-changing scholarships to a private school and obtain a quality education.
You can ensure that your tax dollars are used efficiently and effectively, giving the gift of a high quality education to a child in need, while supporting a school whose values reflect your own.Contact: Terry Doyle
