The Aster Scholarship Fund

The Aster Scholarship Fund is made possible by the fundraising efforts and in kind donations from the community and extended network of supporters. The Aster Initiative looks forward to continuing to grow this fund that exemplifies how families with shared values can work cooperatively to support each other and strengthen our school community.

Currently enrolled or prospective families are eligible to apply. Through the application process, families are asked to submit information and documentation reflecting their income. Selections are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Based on a review of the submitted documents, families may qualify for between 10% to 100% of their tuition covered by The Katmint Scholarship Fund. Determining factors are gross income and family size. We will reference the latest salary ranges from the AMI (Average Median Income) current rates.

Although we allocated all funds until fully exhausted we may not be able to offer to every family applying or that may qualify. Still we will work with each qualifying family to explore all supportive options.

After completion of the application, you will receive an automated response of confirming the submission. You will then receive follow up from our offices about additional documentation or information needed to further process your application.

Aster considers many factors when estimating a qualifying family’s tuition assistance percentage. For instance, we consider the following details, in addition to others, to determine annual household income: gross salaries and wages, assets, real estate equity, mortgage or rental payments, employer allowances, and unemployment compensation. Additional considerations include family size, which we may verify from an individual’s most up-to-date tax returns and pay stubs.

Families can apply as of September. 

Follow-up document submissions will be shared by appointment.

Award letters and emails will be sent by the 3rd week of September.
