St. Anthony School is in the process of applying and submitting the application to be a Choice School for the 2024-2025 school year.  It will probably be 4-6 weeks before the DOE approves the application and the process is completed. 

We can begin accepting applications for the Choice Scholarship, but will not be able to process them until we have been approved by the state.  The application form is included in the Bear Facts and we will also send a paper copy home.  Here are some reminders for you when applying for the Choice Scholarship.

1. You must provide the income for anyone living in your household that works or that has an income. This includes grandparents, brothers, sisters (college, high school or grade school students), or any non-relative that are living in your house.
2. Federal taxes must show correct total of people currently in your house. If not we will need to complete the Household Summary paperwork.
3. If parents are divorced, child support must be added to income and documentation is needed.
4. The school will need a copy of divorce papers so that we can tell what arrangements have been made when children are claimed every other year and also tell us why household size does not match the number on your taxes.
5. If parents alternate years claiming a child, we will need a note written from each parent, signed, and dated to be added to the file for documentation.
