  • Contact Information

The Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) in partnership with the Schulze Family Foundation presents the Schulze Early Learning Scholarship Program. This program helps middle-income families gain access to excellent preschool programs for their children.

CSCOE and the Foundation firmly believe in and support the strength of the academic experience. We also support the caring community and the spiritual development provided by Catholic elementary schools.

Awarded scholarships will be sent directly to the preschool to pay for tuition.
