Yes. First, apply to The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington Tuition Assistance Program. Once applied, contact Principal Karen Clay regarding available tuition assistance from Saint Peter School.

To be eligible for The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington (ADW) Parishioner Rate, the applicant must be a baptized Catholic, and at least one parent must have an existing record (generally one-year registration and contribution/activity) of the following:

• Baptized Catholic.
• Registered as a parishioner at an ADW parish.
• Consistently contribute financially or via time/support to an ADW parish.
• Make and carry out an annual pledge that includes a commitment to participate with his/her child in regular Sunday worship at an ADW parish; to participate in the activities and ministries of the parish as his/her circumstances allow; and to contribute financially to the support of the parish as circumstances allow (in addition to school tuition payments).

Saint Peter School does not discriminate in its admissions policy on the basis of race, color, creed or national origin. When all admissions criteria are equally met, we give preference to 1) siblings of currently registered students; 2) active (generally one-year registration and contribution/activity) parishioners in one of our supporting parishes (Saint Peter's; St. Joseph's; St. Dominic's; St. Patrick's; the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle; Epiphany Catholic Church; and St. Francis de Sales); and 3) active Catholic parishioners from outside the Archdiocese who are moving to the area.
