Ensuring success for students with the greatest potential, not just the greatest advantages.
The Corporate Leadership for Academic Success (CLAS) program is a partnership between St. Gregory College Preparatory School and Tucson’s corporate community. The CLAS program provides critical financial assistance for Tucson area students who demonstrate a commitment to academic success, but lack the financial resources to attend St. Gregory without assistance. Through the CLAS scholarship program, businesses who understand the value of a world class education provide funding to cover tuition, books, and fees for CLAS Scholars. Scholars are selected based on merit and demonstrated financial need. Recipients are required to remain in good standing throughout their high school matriculation.
A gift of $375,000 endows one CLAS Scholarship (tuition, books, and fees) in perpetuity.
Companies may also choose to endow partial CLAS Scholarships. Naming opportunities are available for endowment gifts of $25,000 or more. Endowments gifts under $25,000 are gratefully accepted and recognized under the pooled CLAS Endowment Fund.
The scholarship funds support tuition, books, and fees of CLAS Scholars during their enrollment at St. Gregory. Scholarships may be funded with a one-time gift, or tuition and fees may be billed annually based on actual expenses. Monthly payment plans are also available.
Tuition for the 2007-2008 academic year is set at $13,500 in the middle school (grades 6-8), and $14,500 in the upper school (grades 9-12). Books and fees are estimated at between $600 and $1,000. Tuitions costs are subject to change annually.
