Some quick facts about Epiphany Catholic School...
Is Financial Aid available?
In the 2023-24 school year, Epiphany Families with financial need have taken advantage of over $500,000 in financial aid provided either through the Guardian Angel Fund (funded by alumni and generous friends of Epiphany), the Big Shoulders Fund, and the Archdiocese of Chicago Caritas Scholarship. It is our goal that Catholic Families seeking a Catholic education have the ability to fulfill this goal at Epiphany. Sadly, we often do not find out the amount of most scholarship rewards until December/January, and accounts are sometimes not adjusted until this time.
