BISON Scholarship

Thanks to a generous, anonymous donation, Saints Peter and Paul School has several scholarships available to new families.  These scholarships are also based on the above income eligibility.  However, if you qualify, you do not need to enter the lottery drawing.  Your child/family will automatically receive the scholarship and it will remain with your child/family for the remainder of their time at Saints Peter and Paul School.

For more information or to apply, please contact principal, Mrs. Melissa Lindner at 632-6146 or principal@ssppschool.com
